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
Happy Birthday 'Helen'
Our last resident birthday in April saw the lovely 'Helen' celebrate with family on a wonderful day out. We love a birthday at The Mount so couldn't miss out on hosting our own little in-home party for Helen on her return... with a rendition of 'Happy Birthday' and large slice of homemade birthday cake courtesty of Chef Charlotte. She had a fabulous day all round.
Happy Birthday 'Henry'
Please join us in wishing our birthday gentleman of the month 'Henry' a super big 'Happy Birthday'! Henry is a wonderful guy, full of smiles, he loved eating his favourite chocolates, and a large slice of fresh fruit topped cake courtesy of Chef.
Forget-Me-Not Blooms
Our wonderful volunteer gardener; Jane got to work on clearing the raised beds and created this beautiful vase of forget-me-nots for our residents to enjoy. They're so lovely - Thank you!
Paulo Performs
Paulo is a favourite with our residents, everyone loves his romantic songs and he's always happy to dance! Today Helen was the first to the floor.
Sowing for Summer
Spring is in the air at Mount House with the gardening group up and running. Marjorie and Joyce have loved sowing their cucumber and tomato seeds. The group have set up a watering rota, and decided that once the fruits of their labours are ready to pick, they'll set up a roadside stall for passers-by - fingers crossed for a good crop!
Happy Birthday 'Joyce'
Our staff and residents would like to say a massive happy birthday to our darling Joyce who is 94 today. Joyce says she's feeling overwhelmed with the love cards and presents she has received so far this morning and would like to thank everybody.
