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.
Paula Lourenco
Hello, my name is Paula and I’m the Activities coordinator at Tewkesbury Fields care home. I’ve joined Barchester healthcare in 2020.
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
Celebrating International Women's Day
Home services advisor Paula, distributed chocolates and sweets bags as random acts of kindness along Tewkesbury High Street – visiting shops and customers to wish the women a Happy International Women’s day and make them feel special!
102 years old resident Marion said: “It is amazing to think how much things have changed just in my lifetime, when I was younger there were so many things it was deemed inappropriate for women to do. It is wonderful that women have so many more opportunities these days and days like this are so important to make sure we keep going in the right direction.”
"Come and have dinner - on us"
We've attended to the last "Come and have dinner - on us" at the Tewkesbury Baptist Church Auditorium.
Across 4 dates in January and February, Henry's offered free dinners to Tewkesbury community.
Serenity Harmony local group provided the first half of entertainment with a beautiful singing session, and the second half, our activities coordinator held a 25 questions quiz which involved lots of interaction and audience participation.
Such another lovely event in bringing Tewkesbury community together!
Well done to everyone involved!
Attending coffee morning at Apperley Village Hall
Our Home General Manager James and Home Services Advisor Paula, attended the monthly coffee morning at Apperley Village Hall to find out more about their community events.
Thank you all for the very warm welcome and hospitality. We are very much looking forward to visiting again next month and get to know more about the community.
Day out to Golden Valley
Golden Valley has such beautiful views, as well as a relaxing and calm area.
We are so lucky to be surrounded by beautiful local areas where we can spend and enjoy so many days out! Residents and staff got to see the baby lambs, swans as well as enjoy a hot cup of tea in the warmth of the car.
Bird Feeders making
Another wonderful afternoon making some bird feeders for our bird and squirrel friends!
With a lovely young helper, we always have so much fun making these and we love that is for a good cause - attracting nature to our gardens!
We can't wait to see who comes into our garden and enjoy these tasty treats!
Pets As Therapy visits
Residents had the pleasure to welcome back Durley, our Pets As Therapy dog!
Dudley loves to have cuddles and fuss from the residents and staff, and he certainly brings a smile to everyone's faces!
How lucky we all are, he brings so much joy to everyone.
We all look forward for more visits.
