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
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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Bere Grove Care Home
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.
Bird Box Painting
This week at Bere Grove our residents decorated their own bird boxes. Then Paul, with direction from Mavis, hung them outside.
The colours used were so vibrant and welcoming and we hope they attract a variety of birds. We really enjoy using our creative skills and we are looking forward to the next project.
Sunny Lunch Date
This week, a few of our residents wanted to go out for lunch at Oh So's Coffee shop Horndean so that is exactly what we did!
The sun was shining, the food was delicious and the company was great. We cant wait to do it again soon.
