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
Celebrating 15 Years of Service
We would like to say a huge congratulations to our senior career Louise who today is celebrating 15 years’ service on memory lane, here at Mount Vale.
Louise is a great team member, going above and beyond for our residents.
Louise received flowers, a pin and £250.00 in vouchers presented by our general manager Helen Lewis.
Residents and Staff all appreciate her hard work and dedication.
Well done Louise.
Family Fun Day
We had our Family Fun Day here at Mount Vale, and what a fun day it was.
We had Hook a Duck, Chocolate and Wine Hoopla, a Coconut Shy and lots more fun games. Families and Friends got together and enjoyed an afternoon of Pimm’s and homemade sweet treats.
Smiles and lots of laughter was the order of the day and even a singalong with a ukulele!
Our Chef Dana did a fantastic job once again making some delicious shortbread with Mount Vale embossed on them which was the talk of the day.
London 'Herstory'
Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.
We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas. The experience was truly enjoyed by all.
Elvis visits Mount Vale
Another wonderful afternoon with our favourite entertainer ‘Elvis’ aka Mike! Our residents spent the afternoon rocking and rolling and singing along to all the songs. Not only do our residents get a music show they get fit at the same time!
Great to see so many dancing and having fun.
Mike along with other musical entertainers come here and run alongside our in-house activities schedule.
Flower Arranging
Our lovely ladies on memory lane have been arranging beautiful flowers and herbs from the gardens and grounds here at mount vale. Lavender and mint and lots of fresh blooms made a lovely sensory afternoon and some pretty vases of flowers and obviously a glass of sherry to finish.
We are lucky to have beautiful Gardens and Grounds here and we enjoy walking around and having a look at what flowers and herbs we have grown to pick and arrange.
World Chocolate Day
As it was ‘World Chocolate Day’ we decided to do some blind chocolate tasting. We had a large selection of chocolate from salted caramel to rum and raisin and so many more!
Residents enjoyed the blind tasting which was very interesting and extremely funny, (amazing what you taste when you don’t know what it is!)
We were so busy eating we didn’t manage to take so many pictures, but both floors agreed it was a big hit and good fun!
