Activities at Bere Grove Care Home

Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Hollie Wren

Activities Co-ordinator

Hi, I'm Hollie. I have worked in healthcare for six years taking on a variety of roles. I am so proud to be heading up the activity team and supporting our residents with a life-enriching programme of events. I am highly motivated and love sharing my creative and imaginative side with everyone. I truly believe age is just a number and there is nothing we cannot achieve if we work together. 

I like to create a person-centred activity programme so each resident gets the opportunity to enjoy what they love. This is their time to relax, enjoy and have fun.

The children sang songs and performed routines for the residents, friends and family.

Summer BBQ

Residents and staff came together at Bere Grove to enjoy a Summer BBQ.

Our amazing chefs served a selection of BBQ favourites including burgers, chicken, lamb and a huge range of delicious salad, which were enjoyed by everyone.

It was so lovely to see everyone at Bere Grove sit down and enjoy their lunch together with friends and family.

D-Day Reminiscing

Our residents took a trip back in time to Fort Nelson to celebrate and remember D-Day. 

Residents enjoyed looking at the memorabilia and getting up close to the tanks and vehicles. 

They enjoyed spending the day looking around the grounds and took a pit stop in the cafe to refuel.

Pets As Therapy Visit

Here at Bere Grove we have had a recent visit from the wonderful Pasha who is a Pets As Therapy dog.

Our residents loved meeting Pasha who has already claimed his own chair in our home. The residents gave him lots of cuddles and treats and are really looking forward to his regular visits!

Ice Creams For Spring

Our residents and staff enjoyed their first ice cream of Spring yesterday with a range of different flavours and toppings to choose from.

The residents sat in the garden and enjoyed the warm spring weather looking out at our beautiful garden that the gardening club have been working hard on.

Whatever floats your goat!

This week we had a visit from The Pont Pals Family here at Bere Grove

Mavis and Josie took a tour around our home to say hello to all our residents and staff.

We then went outside into the sunshine for a run around and a groom by our residents.
