Activities at Mount House and Severn View
Our Activities team is a dedicated group whom strive to ensure that the residents of Mount House have a broad range of meaningful activities daily which reflect the needs, wants and interests of all our residents. From our larger events including Garden Parties in our spectacular grounds to birthday celebrations with live musical entertainment we always have a broad range of events to suit all of our wonderful residents. We also go on a number of outings throughout the year in and around Shropshire, many of which are linked to community organisations whom cater specifically for interests of the people we support.
Something we have always been passionate about here at The Mount is Music therapy and we offer a diverse musical programme of live music and entertainers throughout the year to suit all tastes. Food theme days and tasting afternoons, as well as regular Cookery classes and chair yoga are on offer as well as beauty therapy and massage.
We aim to consistently provide a high quality activities programme for all of our residents and ensure that regardless of limitations and circumstances each individual has the best possible experience within our home, through both a physical and mentally stimulating person-centred approach.

Life at Mount House and Severn View
Gardening Club
Spring has started at The Mount House and Severn View and Gardening club is now in full swing, our wonderful residents have been busy planting lots of vegetable seeds and once they start to germinate we will be transferring them to our vegetable patches and look forward to having a wide range of home grown vegetables. We have also planted a variety of bulbs into our planters and the courtyard is going to be a bloom of fragrance and stunning colours for everyone to enjoy.
Celebrating Ladies Day
We celebrated Ladies day at The Mount. We all dressed up in our dresses and had fascinators which were hand made by Emma the activities coordinator and our talented residents. The effort everyone went to was amazing, our residents enjoyed Prosecco and strawberries and had race themed activities we all had so much fun and even though it was Ladies day the gents got involved too.
Happy 100th Birthday!
Mrs Shaw celebrated her 100th Birthday here at The Mount with her family, all our staff and residents, Mrs Shaw enjoyed music from the amazing John who performed for her and we had a special vintage tea afternoon with a beautiful cake made by our Head chef. And thank you to everyone that sent Mrs Shaw Birthday cards and messages from the public after putting out a Facebook post it's been fantastic, and thank you to everyone who has played a part in making Mrs Shaw’s day so special. Everyone enjoyed her special day with big smiles all around.
Easter Celebrations
We had a great Easter weekend here at The Mount House, every resident and staff member received a little chocolate treat and the whole weekend was so much fun from making Easter bonnets to decorating eggs and we also had the pleasure of the local nursery visiting and they had so much fun in the garden and the home doing an Easter egg hunt, we created so many great memories for all.
Comic Relief
Mount house residents and staff had a fun for Comic Relief- Red Nose Day, everyone dressed in red and had a fun nose also they decorated cupcakes in a red nose style, our activities were red nose themed and everyone had huge smiles and thoroughly enjoyed the day.
World Book Day
We celebrated world book day in the home and we decided to dress up in Pyjamas rather than a character from a book, staff and residents loved being comfy and cosy in Pyjamas for the day, all of our activities that day were book related and it was great fun.
