Daffodils from our friends

Yesterday our favourite little visitors from Rosedene Nursery come by and paid us a visit. They had spent the morning decorating jars and making them into vases. They filled them with daffodils and came round to drop them off for our residents.

This was a lovely surprise, our residents loved them. Alison and other residents commented on how much they missed their visits, as they enjoyed the reading corner we did weekly with them. We look forward to when we can get back to normal.

Exercising the Mind, Body and Soul

Keeping active, having social interactions and being mentally stimulated is very important to Residents at Mount Vale. Today was a fun-filled game of pom-poms!

Every got really competitive, everyone wanted to beat each other and Residents really got into the event.

The home said “keeping active is good for Residents wellbeing as it helps with their hand eye coordination and is a good arm exercise to keep them muscles working.”

A breath of fresh air

A few of our ladies enjoyed a little time and fresh air in the homes beautiful gardens, looking at snowdrops and all of the daffodils coming through providing a sure sign that Spring is on its way following the recent cold spell and snow.

Burns capers

We had a special lunch today in honour of Robert Burns. The Residents decorated the Dining Room then enjoyed Haggis, neeps and tatties along with traditional Scottish desserts and tablet. This was all washed down with a glass of Scottish whisky!

A special delivery

Residents of Mount Vale were delighted to receive a very special delivery – a beautiful hamper from their little friend’s from Rosedene Nursery. The little ones presented a hamper to the homes activities coordinator, Rebecca to share with all the Residents.

The children sang lots of Christmas Carols and the Residents were able to hear through the windows. Everyone loved this, and were also singing along with them.
