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

Thanking our Carers
Earlier this week, Bere Grove celebrated National Carers Week. This gave us the opportunity to recognise and thank, all our wonderful carers. This included day carers, night carers and senior carers.
We are proud of each and every one of our team for the unique and outstanding compassion, empathy , patience and positivity they each bring to our residents every single day.
Our carers go above and beyond their role and for this we are all so grateful.
Thank you
Making Christmas
Its that time of year again! Our very first Christmas here at Bere Grove Care Home. We intend to make it the best Christmas Ever for our residents and their families.
The Reverend Dr Coleen Jackson
Here at Bere Grove, we were so lucky to have our Church service taken by the Reverend Dr Coleen Jackson, who serves for the parishes of Rowlands Castle, Blendworth, Chalton and Idsworth.
What a fabulous, interesting lady.
Coleen's friend and colleague Annie Reeve also visited our residents.
We now have a whole programme of events leading up to Christmas to be delivered to our residents and friends from the local community.
Thank you Coleen and Annie, it wad great meeting you, see you very soon.
Sing-along-a-Matt
Earlier this month we had the pleasure of welcoming our first external entertainer, Mr Matt O'Neill, he definitely delivered an amazing show.
Many of our residents and staff joined him, singing and dancing along to classic songs of the 60's and 70's.
We all really enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to Matt coming back to entertain us again.
Pearl and Ruby
Helping our two new married residents move in today were these two lovely girls, Pearl and Ruby.
The girls are Lurtcher's and although they wernt much help with the new residents unpacking our residents and staff here at Bere Grove were very impressed to meet such well behaved young ladies.
Blast's from the Past
Earlier this week our residents enjoyed our first Vinyl club and what an absolute blast from the past it was too!
We listened to some classic music such as Pavarotti, Richard Wagner, Giuseppe Verdi, Richard Clayderman and many many more.
