Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

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.

A bit of retail therapy!

Our residents were delighted with the opening of the new Cotswold Designer Outlet in Tewkesbury.

We enjoyed the array of shops and cafes and restaurants - we obviously had to buy a few things! We feel very lucky to have such a wonderful shopping extravaganza on our doorstop and it will certainly be regular trip for the residents.

We stopped for refreshments along the way, and as always laughter and chatter ruled the afternoon.

A game of Botcha with local students.

 We welcomed the students from Alderman Knight School to join us for a game of Botcha, and what great fun we've had together!
Sadly, today was their last visit before they break for their school holidays.
Each visit was unique, and together we've created many memories, we built relationships and got to know each other.
We wished all the students the very best in the future!
Thanks for the lovely card and the plant for our home

Our Care Home is Number One In The District!

Today residents and staff celebrated with our Senior Regional Director Claire Brewer, as we were named number ONE Care Home in the District by the independent Internet care home reviews website, carehome.co.uk.
Carehome.co.uk is often one of the first places people will look when searching for a care home for a loved one, and is independently run to ensure that all reviews are vetted and come from people who have genuine experience of the homes that they are reviewing.
Senior Regionl Director Claire said “It is testament to the wonderful work of the fantastic staff at Tewkesbury Fields that they consistently achieve excellent reviews on independent sites such as Google and carehome.co.uk. They fully deserve to be recognized for the top quality care they deliver and I couldn’t be prouder of them. Well done to everyone ".
