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
Maxine is Employee of the Month
Congratulations to Maxine Milward for being presented with employee of the month by our lovely Resident Ambassador May. Max always goes the extra mile, she is always happy & a brilliant carer. Well done Maxine thank you for all you do!
National cream day ~ what a treat!
We enjoyed national cream day, we had delicious homemade scones with fresh whipped cream served as a vintage style afternoon tea. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves especially eating the scones & cream!
Family Visits are Special
We welcome families to visit including children & well behaved pets. It is special to involve families in an activity such as art or a garden party. Visits from younger generations are always wonderful, they are a great tonic!
Jubilee Luncheon
For our Platinum Jubilee celebrations we have been so busy with putting up bunting to cake decorating. Then it was time to celebrate in style with a street party with our very own crowns & face masks and a 'Mount style' beach day!
VE Day Celebrations
We enjoyed a party atmosphere for our VE Day celebrations. There were patriotic songs, wartime memories discussed plus delicious treats to celebrate VE Day. Our residents & team members were dressed in red, white & blue & ate street style party food as it would have been in 1945.
Dancing to Sixties Music
What a great afternoon! Dancing to the 'Sound of the Sixties' and finding the beat with some percussion instruments plus a good old 'sing-a-long' to our favourite songs.
