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
Watercolour Landscapes
Two of our very talented ladies using watercolour to create a landscape. Painting is such a wonderful way to relax and get lost in the moment, our ladies very much enjoyed their art session.
Valentine's Day Celebrations
Everyone had a lovely day for Valentine's as we celebrated those we love. We had a valentines tree & decorated cupcakes thanks to our wonderful new activities co-ordinator Bev.
Staying Active & Having Fun
Exercise at all ages is of paramount importance to feeling well & staying healthy. Weekly exercise classes, ball games & gentle chair based exercises are such a benefit to our residents to maintain dexterity, mental & physical wellbeing whilst remaining active. It gives everyone a real boost!

This is the beautiful cake made by our talented Head Chef Claire for our very special couple Pat & John who celebrate an amazing 46 years of marriage. Congratulations Pat & John, thank you for allowing us to be part of your special day!
Festive Arts & Crafts Session
Arts & crafts is such a lovely way to spend a morning or afternoon. This time the theme was festive, we played Christmas songs while painting and chatted about our memories of Christmas times over previous years.
Pampering Manicures
What a treat, students from Shrewsbury college pampered our residents with manicures. Thank you to the 3 caring & lovely ladies for spending time with us, all of our residents really enjoyed their visits and would love to see them again.
