Activities at Mount Vale Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from PAT dogs, entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Life at Mount Vale Care Home
First Woman MP
Our homes had a fantastic time joining National Trust Talks Service team at Cliveden House for an inspirational talk on Nancy Astor – the first woman to take a seat in the House of Commons.
Our residents had the opportunity to learn more about the fascinating life of Nancy and her political career. As the first women MP, she experienced both attention and scandal throughout her life, which led to many triumphs and numerous disasters. The talk was truly enjoyed by all.
Posy making class
Our homes had a lovely time joining Sue and Nicole from Ferndown Florist for an intriguing flower arrangement workshop in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful virtual demonstration and got inspired to create their own flower posies for our Jubilee displays. Our home will be specially decorated for the upcoming festivities. Stay tuned.
Jubilee party
We held our Jubilee Garden Party over the weekend and had a wonderful turnout from friends and family everyone had a great time. Helen Lewis our General manager also held a Raffle and drew this alongside the Queen, Sue and Shona our Admin team and myself(Becky Activities)
As you can see the Sun was shining and the Gardens looked wonderful. Elsie and her family had an amazing time. Lots of Fun and laughter.
A royal visitor!
We are all looking forward to our Jubilee celebrations and as excitement builds, our administration team just couldn’t resist a photograph opportunity with Her Majesty when she arrived at Mount Vale today. We are sure to have many more photographs alongside her majesty!
Crystal Palace Chronicles
We had a lovely time joining Graham Whitlock for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘The Crystal Palace Chronicles: Star of Nimrod’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fictional character Joe, who went on a rollercoaster adventure travelling back in time to the heyday of Victorian Crystal Palace.
Everyone had lots of fun during the virtual talk, as Graham took them on a clever and hilarious adventure. A great time was had by all.
The sun has got his hat on!
The sun has been shining, so we took full advantage of it and has spent time in the garden, playing ball games and singing. We loved looking at the amazing flowers and vegetables growing, we cant wait to sample them
