Activities at Mount Tryon Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Mount Tryon Care Home
Mount Tryon Flower Show
We decided to hold our own Barchester Mount Tryon flower show because it was the Chelsea flower show. We had a great time creating our display and reminiscing because we had Sweet Williams to use.
Our Deputy Manager, Dana, had the difficult task of selecting the best because they were all so excellent. Congratulations to our winners.
Luc the harpist
We had a wonderful afternoon at Mount Tryon when Luc arrived to entertain us with his harp and his extensive knowledge of all the songs he performed for us.
We had Sherry, Port, and Hor dourves to accompany this.
Pom Pom Fitness
Due to popular demand, our Pom Pom fitness class at Mount Tryon will now be offered weekly.
It's a really exciting routine that gives us the ability to move, groove, and have a great time while staying in shape.
National Biscuit Day
To celebrate National Biscuit Day, we prepared some delicious shortbread biscuits. We chose to eat them at our monthly poetry club!
This month’s poetry theme was nature, so we couldn’t resist making bunny and chick biscuits and what a treat they were!
Mini Bus Trip
We are excited for a summer filled with minibus excursions. This week, we had a great afternoon strolling around Teignmouth's Jacks Patch Garden Centre in the beautiful sunshine and, of course, pausing for a cup of tea before exploring the horticulture section.
Easter Baking
At Mount Tryon, we always love baking, but this cake we made and decorated was especially memorable because it was our residents' entry into the Barchester Healthcare Easter Cake competition. We were thrilled with the way it turned out, and everyone enjoyed a piece of cake or some bunny biscuits with their afternoon tea.
