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.

A visit from our furry friend, Bambi!

Meet Bambi, a miniature chihuahua and belongs to our Activities Coordinator, Rebecca and has been coming to work with her since she was 5 months old and is now nearly 5.

Our Residents look forward to her visits and love to have cuddles with her, she is very calm and placid and will sit and be cuddled and tickled for hours! She loves spending time in the garden and all the walks she gets.

Bambi is often seen popping into to rooms which residents love. After a lovely afternoon in the garden Elsie decided she wanted to dance so took the opportunity to do this with every member of staff she passed, and made everyone smile.

Snap Happy at Mount Vale

Here at Mount Vale we were delighted to spend some time taking beautiful photos of the outdoors with our residents and our home dog, Bambi to enter the #BaileyBarchester competition following Damian’s amazing virtual photography event.

We all had a wonderful time during our photoshoot and we are happy to say we were impressed with our skills in putting all the tips and ideas learnt during the talk into practice.

Thank you, Damian Bailey Photography.

Birthday Celebrations at Mount Vale

We have had a great day celebrating John’s Birthday.

Our talented chef, Dana made a beautiful chocolate cake for John and our Residents to enjoy.

John got some lovely gifts and spent the afternoon relaxing enjoying a beer or two.

Happy Birthday, John!

English National Ballet dance workshop

We celebrated International Youth Day virtually with English National Ballet’s youth dance company, ENBYouthCo and their Creative Director, Richard Bermange.

We had the opportunity to watch A Comedy in Long-shot, participate in a chair-based creative dance workshop and observe an open rehearsal where Richard and the young dancers created a performance inspired by our childhood memories.

They took part and we didn’t realise Ballet was so meaningful, with all the different movements, and afterwards spoke of this and created their own movements and what it had meant to them.

It was a wonderful experience, enjoyed by all.

Residents get down with club culture!

We had a lovely time joining V&A Dundee curator, Kirsty Hassard, as she introduced us virtually to the history and design of night clubs and the club culture from the 1960s to present day.

We explored the evolution and development of night clubs around the world, from Italy to America, and closer to home, looked at their importance as cultural venues and designed spaces.

This current exhibition celebrates night clubs at a very important moment, as we all look to a brighter future where everyone can come back together, to dance and to enjoy nights out once again.

We all enjoyed the virtual talk.

Residents celebrate International Beer Day

Residents at Mount Vale care home had a fun-filled day as we raised a glass and tasted top ales in recognition of International Beer Day.

Our residents enjoyed a mini beer festival in the garden and got involved in a variety of interesting activities.

Some of our residents spent time learning about craft brewing and the history of beer, others preferred to join the beer tasting session in the garden and to try beers from all around the world.

It was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.
