Activities at Bere Grove Care Home

Our residents enjoyed a wonderful autumn outing to Garsons - Titchfield, where they enjoyed exploring the fantastic pumpkin displays! 
From giant pumpkins to beautifully arranged seasonal exhibits, there was so much to admire. The colourful displays provided the perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll, plenty of conversation, and a chance to embrace the autumn spirit.
After exploring the displays, residents enjoyed browsing the garden centre, sharing memories, and spending quality time together. Outings like these are a fantastic way to stay connected with the local community while celebrating the changing seasons.
A special thank you to the amazing team at Garsons - Titchfield. 

What a wonderful afternoon at Bere Grove for our Dementia Disco, held on the last Friday of every month and open to the whole community!

Today was no exception, with fantastic music, plenty of dancing, and lots of smiles. It was lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves, catching up with friends, and sharing such a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Our next Dementia Disco will be on Friday, 28 August. Everyone is welcome, so come along, join the fun, and make some happy memories with us!

Huge congratulations to Nico he always goes above and beyond, creating delicious wholesome meals, beautiful afternoon teas and makes every celebration extra special for residents and the community. Thank you for your hard work, this is really well deserved.

Today we were delighted to welcome Making Space, a wonderful local charity based in Leigh Park, to Bere Grove for the first of a series of clay workshops. Residents enjoyed a demonstration on working with clay before creating their own unique candle holders and vases. The session sparked plenty of creativity, laughter, and conversation, with everyone enjoying a well-earned cup of tea halfway through. A huge thank you to the team at Making Space for bringing this fantastic activity to our home. Their work supporting wellbeing, creativity, and community connections makes such a positive difference, and our residents thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I'm sure you'll agree what you see so far. We look forward to welcoming them back soon when our creations have been fired and are ready for the next stage in the process!

At Bere Grove we put a huge emphasis on activity, movement and fitness and this week was no exception!
We were delighted to welcome the fantastic team from Horizon Leisure, who delivered a fun and energetic workout for our residents.

The session was brilliantly attended, with plenty of smiles, encouragement and a great sense of team spirit. Our residents cheered each other on, pushed themselves to get involved and showed that you’re never too old to get moving!

There’s nothing quite like feeling strong, energised and ready to take on whatever comes your way.

A huge thank you to Horizon Leisure well done to all our fantastic residents for getting stuck in! 

Bere Grove welcomed residents, families and friends to its garden party, and what a fantastic afternoon it was! We were delighted to see such a wonderful turnout, with everyone coming together to enjoy good food, great company and plenty of entertainment from the wonderful Hannah on saxophone, filling the garden with beautiful music and creating a lovely atmosphere.

Our delicious BBQ went down a treat, with everyone enjoying some tasty food in the sunshine. We also had some lovely creative stalls to browse, showcasing handmade crafts and creative goodies. There was plenty of time to have a wander around the stalls, admire the wonderful creations and enjoy a little bit of shopping along the way.

To round off the afternoon, Singers & Stringers kept us entertained with fantastic live music, with plenty of toe-tapping, singing along and smiles all around!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the afternoon so special. It was a truly memorable day filled with laughter, music, food and friendship

Following our Harvest Festival this week, we were delighted to present Hirndean and Clanfield Food Bank with a generous package of donations to help replenish their supplies. The food bank is such a valuable charity, supporting members of our local community when they need it most, and we are proud to be able to play a small part in helping them continue their wonderful work. It was a real pleasure to welcome Liz and show her around our home, as well as contribute to their much-needed stocks. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make our Harvest Festival so special! We look forward to working with the food bank again in the future.

As a dedicated carer, Molly consistently goes above and beyond for both residents and colleagues. Her kindness, patience and unwavering commitment shines though in everything she does. 

The warm weather meant another lovely afternoon spent outdoors in the shade by the café.  There was plenty of laughter, friendly chats, and a touch of creativity as everyone enjoyed a little painting together. A wonderful way to relax, make memories, and while away a sunny afternoon.
