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
Christmas Quiz
Residents families and members of our fabulous community joined residents and staff for our first Christmas Quiz.
It was a brilliant night and we have to acknowledge there are some very clever people in our local community.
Festive Cookies
Desserts are arguably one of the most important foods of the holiday season. One of our preparations for Christmas was for our residents to make Christmas cookies.
Baking (and cooking) is an activity that takes your complete concentration – especially if it's basic and repetitive – and it may help you relax. The act of weighing ingredients, whisking eggs, and folding dough relieves stress and helps to reduce negative thoughts. Our residents are always up for creating new tasty treats!
The cookies were delicious
Happy New Year
Happy New Year from Residents and Staff here at Bere Grove.
We have had a fabulous first Christmas and New Year here at Bere Grove, with great food, great company and entertainment.
We are looking forward to next Christmas already
Cheese and Wine
What a fabulous night we had here at Bere Grove care home last week at the wine tasting and cheese pairing event.
Thank you Gary, Barchester's Regional Chef for being the most humorous and knowledgeable teacher ever.
The wines and cheese paired perfectly, and a big shout out from residents and staff here to our fabulous community for joining us for this event.
Its Christmas Time
We've had a fun filled day here at Bere Grove! Our Santa hats went on and the presents came out!
We spent the morning wrapping up presents brought for relatives or friends, and also some empty boxes for Santa to fill on Christmas day. This afternoon we watched Mary Poppins, baked Christmas cookies in our residents kitchen, and also had the Blendworth Church Centre visit for the Advent Film Night!
It's all happening here this Christmas
Our very first Christmas Fete
Both residents and staff had an amazing time raising money for an Alzheimers charity, through our Christmas Fayre
We had many many stalls, some reindeer that looked very much like ponies, some fabulous singing from 'Tea for Two' and even a treasure hunt.
Thanks to our fabulous community came out in the rain to support our event - Thank you
