Fluffy Visitor Brings Joy to Residents

Residents were delighted to receive cuddles from a very fluffy guinea pig recently. The small visitor made a big impact, helping bring joy, calm moments and gentle interaction to their day.  

Research suggests animal visits can help lower blood pressure,  encourage gentle movement and reduce stress.  We are already looking forward to the next visit!

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Bere Grove residents took a trip down memory lane this week with a visit to 19 Fourteas Tearoom in Havant. It was such a brilliant tea room and provided our residents with an amazing experience, we can't recommend it enough.
The tea room was full of memorabilia that sparked conversation and memories, and the residents loved chatting all things war time, it certainly brought history back to life.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome, we will definitely be back soon!

Eyes Down and Dabbers at the Ready

It was eyes down and dabbers at the ready at Bere Grove as our residents joined the Barchester Bingo Bonanza today! 
Our residents joined in a nationwide game of bingo with our other 260 homes across Barchester Healthcare. It was wonderful to be part of such a big event, all playing together at the same time!
There were plenty of prizes, lots of laughter and smiles all round. A brilliant way to bring everyone together for some friendly competition and community spirit.
Well done to all the lucky winners, we hope you enjoy your prizes for a line and a full house.
