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
Valentine's Day
The nursery children from Rosedene Nursery came in and surprised our residents for Valentine's Day. They had baked heart shaped cookies to give every one of our ladies for Valentine's. This was so touching and everyone loved it.
Getting Wild!
Mike Wild, aka 'Elvis', comes in monthly to get everyone up dancing and singing. All the ladies enjoy getting a flower!
100th Birthday Celebration
We had a special birthday celebration here at the home, as one of our residents turned 100 recently. Marian received birthday gifts from friends and residents, alongside a festive cake and flowers from home’s manager and the Mayor of Northallerton, John Forrest. Happy Birthday!
Christmas Carol Event
Northallerton Choir came in recently to take part in our first Christmas Carol event. It was a great success and everyone really enjoyed it.
World Kindness Day
Staff and residents at Mount Vale were surprised as local nursery had a great time spreading the love on World Kindness Day, which was celebrated on 13th November 2019. The nursery children handed out lots of flower posies to us and some of our residents. Was so lovely, it reduced us all to tears!
The children wanted to show their kindness and appreciation to residents and staff working at the home by preparing a surprise for them. Being nice and helping others makes for a much more pleasant environment, no matter where you are and, remember, it doesn’t cost a thing!
Resident Enjoys Make-over
Molly, resident at Mount Vale recently enjoyed a beauty day at local department store, Barkers, where she was treated to a free beauty make-over as part of her shopping trip. Molly had a wonderful morning as the beauticians showed her a range of beauty kits to pamper and beautify all those ladies out there. Once make up was done Molly enjoyed a browse through the rails of clothing taking in all the latest fashions.
Helen Lewis General Manager said: “It’s always a lovely treat to be pampered, and Molly deserve it. We do our best to provide a wide range of activities and entertainment at Mount Vale as part of the lifestyle enrichment programme for residents, and this one was our most fashionable fun! Living in a care home doesn’t put a stop to celebrating life, and our engaging activities are designed to be enjoyed by all who want to join in both in and out of the home.
