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

Eyes Down

This is Marian enjoying a game of bingo. She is 99 years old and loves to join in with activities daily. She always has a good chuckle!

Pet Therapy

Pet Therapy

Residents of Mount Vale have always enjoyed pet therapy and this time was no different. Gillian enjoyed a close encounter with a lizard to the delight of everyone! Whilst Janie preferred a cuddle with Bambi who often visits the home prompting residents to reminisce on their own pets, which they have owned.

Pet therapy can benefit elderly in helping reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also increase self-esteem and improve social skills, so everyone was absolutely delighted to have them along.

Graduation Celebration

Graduation Celebration

We were joined by the children of Rosedene Nursery, who were here to celebrate their graduation from nursery. Angela, Carol, Paul and Adam, our carers, as well as our activities coordinator, all came to cheer on the little ones, along with residents and the children’s families. The kids gifted a hamper to all our residents to share. It was a lovely morning!

Double Celebration

Double Celebration

We recently celebrated two long service awards at the home. Shona Munro our receptionist and Carol Watson one of our housekeepers. They both received gift cards and flowers from the general manages as a token of appreciation for their hard work.
