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
Visit to the Waterlooville Men's Shed
This morning our Home Services Advisor, Megan, popped down to the Waterlooville Men's Shed to say hello and drop of some sweet treats. They are currently making us a donation box to put in Bere Grove so she was able to sneak a peak at the progress of this!
Of course Megan couldn't leave before having a cuppa and getting to know some of shedders. Sounds like a Friday morning well spent!
Easter at Bere Grove
Our residents went for a morning stroll to the nearby church for their Easter Service. Our talented chef prepared a delicious feast for all to enjoy with roasted lamb and tasty cinnamon crumble! Then our residents received a special treat from Bere Groves Easter bunny.
As always, we’ve had an amazing time and we want to say a massive thank you to everyone who came and spent the afternoon with us on Saturday for our Easter Celebrations, it was a beautiful day with beautiful weather! We also raised an amazing £85 from the raffle to donate to Alzheimer's Society- Thank you again
Flower Arranging
We love a spot of flower arranging here ta Bere Grove especially as the spring is arriving. Giving the home that fresh scent and splash of spring colour makes everyone smile.
A trip to Cumberland House
Our weekly trip today invited residents to spend their afternoon learning about everything from Arthropods to Zoology at The Cumberland House, Southsea.
We also had to of course pay a visit to their butterfly house where we saw Glass Winged Butterflies.
Gardening Club
Gardening Club!
Here at Bere Grove, we were blessed with sunshine for this morning’s gardening club!
With help from Paul, our head of maintenance, the residents prepared the raised flowerbed and then began to plant our veg.
Working in conjunction with our kitchen team, the residents have carefully planned what veg we can grow to eat.
We are all very excited to see / eat the final products, when they arrive!
