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
Cocktail Making
Residents had a great time making some cocktails. The end results were delicious and we will definitely be doing this activity again.

International Nurses' Day
Mount House & Severn View celebrated International Nurse’s Day to recognise and reward the important work and dedication of nurses everywhere, who often go above and beyond the call of duty. Our Nurses and care staff make a real difference to the lives of those in our care.
The nurses were awarded various gifts for their hard work and dedication, including a specially designed water bottle to help make sure that they are drinking enough throughout their shifts, a delicious box of chocolates and a selection of doughnuts.
