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.

Nimble Elsie!
Keeping active, having social interactions and being mentally stimulated is very important to Residents at Mount Vale. Whilst participating in a simple chair exercise, Resident Elsie showed us how nimble she was and even managed to get up without any help! We all had a good chuckle!
