Activities at Mount Vale Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from PAT dogs, entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Crystal Palace Chronicles
We had a lovely time joining Graham Whitlock for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘The Crystal Palace Chronicles: Star of Nimrod’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fictional character Joe, who went on a rollercoaster adventure travelling back in time to the heyday of Victorian Crystal Palace.
Everyone had lots of fun during the virtual talk, as Graham took them on a clever and hilarious adventure. A great time was had by all.
The sun has got his hat on!
The sun has been shining, so we took full advantage of it and has spent time in the garden, playing ball games and singing. We loved looking at the amazing flowers and vegetables growing, we cant wait to sample them
A wholesome Sunday morning
A very wholesome Sunday here on Memory Lane! From watering our plants and painting our pots this morning, to a relaxing afternoon with a hot chocolate and our homemade treats. We’ve been singing and dancing away, as we always are.
