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
Thank you Tewkesbury Food Bank
We invited the lovely ladies from the Tewkesbury Food Bank to come and visit Tewkesbury Fields Care Home and enjoy some homemade cake by our very talented Head Chef - Jaro. We wanted to thank them for all the hard work that they do in the community and to show them around our home. We are planning to donate to the Tewkesbury Food Bank every month to try and help the cause!
The Big Reveal - Stitch Story
Tewkesbury Fields Care Home were invited to the big unveiling of the Stitch Story at Watson Hall in Tewkesbury. Katie, Deputy General Manager of Tewkesbury Fields Care Home, attended the opening with great delight. She said "This has been a fantastic project that has really brought the community together. We felt so honoured to be involved and add our very own border section. We would like to thank The Stitch Story Team for all their hard work on the project."
Time Capsule Buried at Tewkesbury Fields
Over the past few weeks we have teamed up with Bredon School on a very exciting time capsule project. We have been celebrating the opening of Tewkesbury Fields Care Home and Bredon School are celebrating their 60th anniversary - it seemed like the perfect time to team up to create an everlasting memory.
Students from year 12 and 13 put their heads together and thought of the perfect items to be contained inside. Items included; house badges, Duke of Edinburgh badges and a photo album made by the students.
The students came to Tewkesbury Fields with their Headmaster - Nick Oldman and Head of PSHCE - Kathryn Morris and members of the CCF (Combined Cadet Forces) to bury the capsule.
It was truly a fantastic project and we would like to thank the group of students from Bredon School for getting involved.
Top Dog
We held a Pet Photography competition to honour National Pet Week. Our manager - James, has such a tough decision choosing the best pet pic. In the end the winner was - Rosie!
Rosie was just as sweet as her picture and our staff loved meeting her. Hopefully she enjoyed her visit to Tewkesbury Fields and will enjoy all of her goodies!
Afternoon Tea with our Barchester Family
Yesterday we welcomed fellow Barchester Healthcare homes into Tewkesbury Fields for a delicious afternoon tea - prepared by our wonderful Head Chef - Jaro!
We had such a lovely afternoon with Badgeworth Court, Ashchurch View and White Lodge. It was great to see residents and staff come together to celebrate the opening of Tewkesbury Fields!
We were so proud to offer everyone a tour of the home to see the beautiful new renovations! Friendships were firmly formed and we can’t wait to do more events together in the future!
Visit to the Watson Hall
Our HSA, Emma, had a wonderful time visiting Becky (Event Manger) at the Watson Hall Tewkesbury last week. The Watson Hall is a beautiful venue that holds many fantastic events. We can’t wait to take our residents along so they can enjoy them!
