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.

Nature at it's best at Tewkesbury Fields

Daphne Duck returns and hatches 10 ducklings!Despite lots of activity in the central courtyard from residents Daphne came back to her safe space as she has done every year previous. Tewkesbury Fields is proving not only a safe place for our residents, but as Daphne has demonstrated the perfect haven for the local wildlife.It has been amazing watching them safely wondering around the courtyard. When it was time to say goodbye Daphne knew exactly what route she was taking as we opened the doors and she escorted all 10 ducklings to the pond at the rear of the home. Purely was nature at it's best up and close!We look forward to seeing her next year.
