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.

Life at Mount Vale Care Home

Smiles all round at Mount Vale care home

Residents and staff enjoyed a fun filled afternoon with a visit from Elvis Tribute. 

Our residents are big Elvis fans and listening to all his old hits brought back so many memories. We all had a brilliant time reminiscing about the good old days with a sing along and a good dance. 

We are delighted that entertainers can now visit us in the homes again and look forward to Elvis returning next month! 

A big thank you to all of our wonderful Carers!

We would like to take this great opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful carers at Mount Vale Care Home in Northallerton. We are proud of each and every one of our care team for the outstanding care that they provide to our residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this we are truly grateful.

Enjoying the sunny days at Mount Vale

Residents at Mount Vale Care Home certainly made the most of the sunny warm days in the garden this week with planting some beautiful hanging baskets. They had a lovely time sharing knowledge on gardening and enjoying a sherry or two whilst basking in the sunshine.

We are all looking forward to the warmer weather so we can continue to spend more time in our lovely garden. 

Residents enjoy safari trip

Staff and residents at Mount Vale Care Home were pleased to be able to dive into the wild safari life of Knowsley Safari and to enjoy an amazing live stream tour of the park’s grounds.

Our residents were smiling and laughing as they got up close and personal with some of the safari’s most popular animals, including giraffes and meerkats.

We had a wonderful time learning more about the animals and enjoying some live feeding demonstrations. 

Staff and Residents Celebrate Best Companies Award

There were happy scenes at Mount Vale Care Home as staff and residents celebrated Barchester Healthcare being placed 43rd in the top 75 Best Companies in Yorkshire and the Humber to work for.

The Best Companies awards recognise companies’ commitment to their employees and to workplace engagement and are made all the more meaningful because they are awarded based on feedback from a randomly selected cross-section of the company’s own employees.

It is absolutely wonderful to be recognised as an Outstanding company to work for, we are all so proud. We all love what we do and I think that shines through. At Barchester, we are a family and the past year has shown that we can do anything if we all pull together.

Magical Aqua Painting

During our morning arts & crafts session on a rainy morning, our residents enjoyed exploring the magical aqua paints. An enjoyable activity to keep residents stimulated, engaged and relaxed.

Aqua painting give a great balance of creative touch, sense of achievement and pure joy. Simply brush the paper with a wet paintbrush, and watch as the pictures magically appear.
