Activities at Bere Grove Care Home

Our Bere Grove ladies were treated to a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience during their recent outing to Blendworth Hills. Hosted by the wonderful Jennie Smith, the afternoon featured calming Tropic Skincare facials that left everyone feeling refreshed, cared for, and thoroughly pampered.

It was a peaceful and uplifting time, filled with gentle conversation, self-care, and smiles all around. The soothing atmosphere and expert guidance made for a memorable treat that was appreciated by all.  

What a lovely day out our Bere Grove residents enjoyed on their recent visit to Keydell Nurseries. It was a fantastic opportunity to explore the beautifully kept gardens, browse through an array of unique plants and charming gifts, and soak up the warm summer weather.

The outing offered a peaceful and refreshing change of scenery, encouraging connection, conversation, and plenty of smiles. Residents took their time wandering through the displays, reminiscing about past gardens and sharing stories along the way.

Our minibus trip to Gunwharf Quays was a real treat, with the sun shining and spirits high. The group enjoyed browsing the shops, picking up lots of lovely items and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. We took a break for refreshments, finding a lovely spot to sit and chat over a cool drink and some cakes. The day got even better when we bumped into our Kitchen Assistant Rej and his wife, who happened to be there too. They joined us for an ice cream, and it was  smiles and laughter all day long! 

Bere Grove marked the anniversary of the D-Day landings with a spirited celebration that honoured the past while embracing the freedoms of the present.

The care home's bar was transformed into a festive setting adorned with Union Jack bunting, creating a vibrant backdrop for residents, their families, and staff to come together in remembrance and joy. The event featured a traditional fish and chips lunch, served in classic paper wrappings, evoking the era of the 1940s and adding a nostalgic touch to the festivities.

Pizza night is a favourite in our home, and it’s always a team effort. Alan makes sure the dough is full of flavour, carefully seasoning it just right. Eileen helps get the base perfect by sifting the flour with care. Suzanne shares handy tips from her baking days, guiding the process like a pro. Everyone gets to create their own pizza, choosing toppings they love. There’s laughter, chatter, and a lovely sense of togetherness. And when we all sit down to eat, the smiles say it all, it’s more than just pizza, it’s a little slice of joy.
