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

The Perfect Ten
PERFECT 10! LOCAL CARE HOME CELEBRATES MAXIMUM REVIEW SCORE
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Bere Grove care home in Horndean are delighted to reach their goal of a perfect overall score of 10 on the independent care home review website, carehome.co.uk, all within months of the home opening.
Carehome.co.uk is often one of the first places people will look when searching for a care home for a loved one. It is independently run to ensure that all reviews are vetted and come from people who have genuine experience of the homes that they are reviewing.
General Manager of Bere Grove, Alexandria Bowman, said: “We are beyond thrilled to reach a perfect overall score of 10 on carehome.co.uk, it just goes to show what a credit to the home the team at Bere Grove really are. I am so proud of each and every one of them for all of their hard work and dedication to the people they care for. We have a fantastic team here, I’m so lucky to work with such wonderful people and to have such lovely residents.”
Food glorious Food
Here at Bere Grove, we are so lucky to have a team of fabulous award winning chefs to look after us on a daily basis.
The team focus on creating nutrient-dense recipes by adding healthy ingredients to common foods that older adults enjoy and their food is amazing.
Our first Children in Need Fundraiser
Our first fabulous Children in Need quiz raised much needed funds for the charity that improves lived of disadvantaged children and young people in the UK.
With a special guest appearance of Pudsey bear, our quiz master tested our knowledge of our home and the local area, plus music, riddles and so much more.
A good time was had by all.
