Activities at Mount Vale Care Home

Another wonderful afternoon with our favourite entertainer ‘Elvis’ aka Mike! Our residents spent the afternoon rocking and rolling and singing along to all the songs. Not only do our residents get a music show they get fit at the same time!

Great to see so many dancing and having fun.

Mike along with other musical entertainers come here and run alongside our in-house activities schedule.

Our lovely ladies on memory lane have been arranging beautiful flowers and herbs from the gardens and grounds here at mount vale. Lavender and mint and lots of fresh blooms made a lovely sensory afternoon and some pretty vases of flowers and obviously a glass of sherry to finish.

We are lucky to have beautiful Gardens and Grounds here and we enjoy walking around and having a look at what flowers and herbs we have grown to pick and arrange.

As it was ‘World Chocolate Day’ we decided to do some blind chocolate tasting. We had a large selection of chocolate from salted caramel to rum and raisin and so many more!
Residents enjoyed the blind tasting which was very interesting and extremely funny, (amazing what you taste when you don’t know what it is!)
We were so busy eating we didn’t manage to take so many pictures, but both floors agreed it was a big hit and good fun!

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.

Residents were treated to a singalong to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.

We took a trip to the local pub. Our Residents John, Elsie, Norma and Brenda all enjoyed a Beer and a good chat. The Sun was shining so we took the chance to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air.

Being in such a social environment  and the memories this evoked, the old stories started flowing we all had such a chuckle.

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity. Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.

Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.
