Activities at Tewkesbury Fields 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.

As part of the lifestyle enrichment team, I will be organising daily activities, ensuring that residents have varied activities to choose from each day. I love enriching our residents’ lives, creating memories and be able to provide meaningful activities to each one of the residents living at Tewkesbury fields.

Life at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
Entertainment by Rob - Pianist
Residents have had a great afternoon entertained by pianist Rob.
Residents truly enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, listening to beautiful song of the piano, sing-along, clapping, tapping their feet or just simply listen to the music.
At Tewkesbury Fields, we offer a variety of entertainment to our residents, and we are always looking for different opportunities and events to take place in our home.
"We can't wait to see you again" - residents said!

1st year anniversary celebrations!
We celebrated our 1st anniversary!
We marked 1 year anniversary of Tewkesbury Fields Care Home. Back in 2022, we opened our doors on the 21st April after a full home refurbishment. We began to deliver the quality of care, support and fantastic services from that moment on.
We celebrated this day with residents, staff and families. It truly was a fantastic afternoon, full of fun and laughter, reminiscing, listening to the beautiful singing of Nick from Mini Concerts with "Kings of Swing" show, lots of dancing, celebrating with an afternoon tea, plenty of cake and a glass of Prosecco.
It really shows what a positive impact everyone makes in the home to one another, and what a jolly place Tewkesbury Fields is to be! Here's to the future!
