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
Life at Bere Grove Care Home
Green Fingered Girls
Our wonderful green fingered carers, Donna, Jade, Sarah and Lisa, got their fingers dirty this morning planting up our raised beds. This was not any old planting, all these plants came from the garden of our first new residents, they are just waiting for the home to open and wanted to bring some of their favourite plants, so that makes these plants just so extra special
CAKE......!
A big part of the Barchester Way is the premium experience.... James our new Head Chef baked our first Lemon Drizzle Cake in the Bere Grove Kitchen. Everyone who tried it commented on the lightness and intense lemon flavour. I cannot wait to try the Coffee and Walnut cake. If you or anyone you know would like to have a look around our beautiful luxury care home and come and try our freshly baked cakes- please do call me on 07881 379893. We cannot wait to showcase, James, his cakes and our beautiful, luxury Bere Grove

Things are getting busy round here
Thirty Five days until we welcome our first residents, the Bere Grove induction commenced today. Our full complement of staff arrived for their training the Barchester Way
So the training has started
So the training has started and I have just met the cohort of the new team who are in the process of induction training. They are so excited and cannot believe how gorgeous the home is..... well although biased I can't agree more!
Look who came to tea!....
Today, Rosy Raines, the Mayor of Havant and the Havant Town Crier visited the home. It was a pleasure to show Rosy around the home and start to make plans for community projects that Bere Grove can host and become a part of. As an ex-nurse and local resident for many years Rosy was impressed by the consideration and research incorporated into our Memory Lane dementia floor. Please do get in contact if you would be interested in finding out more about the home as I would be thrilled to showcase all we have to offer - please call me, Kim Wakelin on 07881 379893
