Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home

We are delighted to announce that Edrianne Baluyut  is 2024 General Manager of the Year for the Central region. We are also so proud and thrilled for her recognition.

Over 5,250 incredibly high-standard nominations were received this year 

Next stop…the nationals! Edrianne will join the winners from across the UK at a special awards event in October in Manchester to celebrate their outstanding achievements and see if they’ve won a national award.

General Manager, Edrianne Baluyut said: “It is such an honour to have been named Manager of the Year out of all the homes in the entire Central division, I couldn’t believe it when I heard!  But this is very much a team effort, I couldn’t have achieved this award without the hard work of everyone here at Tewkesbury Fields so this really is for everyone at the home. I am so proud of our home, our fantastic team and most of all, our wonderful residents.”

What a fabulous Hawaiian themed afternoon. 

We welcomed Cheltenham Ukulele Group who played some of our favourite songs beautifully and got us all dancing, clapping, singing along and even in the mood to dress up for great fun. 

The chef prepared delicious fresh fruit, refreshments and a tasty pineapple upside-down cake that was enjoyed by everyone.

This week we attended the Lunch time organ recitals at Tewkesbury Abbey.

We were welcomed by Head Verger Chris Skepper, we listened to David Beeby play.

The residents at Tewkesbury Fields enjoy visits to the beautiful Abbey and have a great appreciation of organ recitals. We are very fortunate that they are holding them every 2 weeks throughout July/August and September and we look forward to attending as many as possible.

We also met Eric and Florence, the newly appointed "Assistant vergers". What two lovely dogs!

We were not impressed with the weather this week! We were planning a trip  to sit by the river, but the weather was not kind. So we went to one of our favourite local garden centres.

At Tewkesbury Fields are residents always enjoy a visit to the garden centre looking at the beautiful plants and having a coffee.

We had a fantastic time celebrating world chocolate day. surely one of the best days of the year!

Life enrichment team and head chef prepared delicious melted chocolate with lots of strawberries, bananas, grapes and raspberries. We enjoyed mixing up and creating our own flavours - and did not spill any!

What a pleasure we all had watching two professionals dance for us.

This week we welcomed Terry and Jenny for a fabulous performance of Ballroom dancing demonstration to our residents. We watched them waltz, tango and foxtrot, We certainly had our feet tapping 

It was such a great afternoon of reminisce and fun together. We will look forward to welcoming them back very soon.
