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.

Life at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
Age UK Gloucestershire
Emma, our HSA, had the pleasure of meeting with Helen this morning at Tewkesbury Fields. Helen is the the Head of Age Friendly Innovation at Age UK Gloucestershire.
Age UK Gloucestershire are in the process of researching Tewkesbury to gain valuable insight as to what the residents would like to see happening in their town for the over 65's.
This morning, Chris - the Community Engagement Manager for Age UK Gloucestershire, is at Morrisons gathering information from shoppers to see what clubs or events they would like in Tewkesbury. This is a super exciting opportunity and to have the support of Age UK is fantastic.
Linking the Community
Emma visited Priors Park Neighbourhood Project and met with Project Manager - Ruth and Creative Workshop Facilitator - Laura to find out more about PPNP. The project is invaluable to the community, it aims to support mental health and other health issues by combating isolation and loneliness. They also provide services such as an internet café, careers advice from National Careers Service and information drop-ins from The Citizen’s Advice Bureau.
We hope to utilize the PPNP and keep our residents involved in the community by getting involved with all they have to offer!
Veterans Coffee Morning
This morning our Home Services advisor, Emma, visited the Armed Forces Veterans coffee morning at the Northway Community Hub & Parish Office. The group provides the perfect opportunity for Veterans and their families to meet together and enjoy a chat, a hot drink and snacks with like-minded people.
It was especially interesting to learn about the amazing women in the group who served and to celebrate them on International women's day. We thank you for all your hard work and dedication!
Blessed by Reverend Chris Moss
Our Home Services Advisor, Emma, was pleased to welcome Reverend Chris Moss to Tewkesbury Fields this morning. Chis kindly offered to lead services in the home and will support our residents when they arrive.
Chris took a moment to bless our care home, each room within it and all of the staff and residents health and safety. We cannot thank him enough for his ongoing support and guidance.
Chairman of Bushley Parish Council visits
We were so pleased to welcome Nigel Nicoll, chairman of Bushley Parish Council, into the marketing suite at Tewkesbury Fields. It was great to learn so much about the parish in which Tewkesbury Fields is situated and to discuss opportunities for our residents in the future. We are so grateful to be part of such a wonderful parish and cannot wait to get involved with upcoming events.
A Room With a View
Imagine this was the view you woke up to every morning, even in February it is beautiful. The sun has been streaming through the windows today and this view is from one of the newly refurbished bedrooms at Tewkesbury Fields. There is plenty of wildlife to watch and some striking birds of prey swooping past.
Upcoming events
Memory Café
We support our local community by holding alternate monthly groups, specifically for those living with dementia and their carers.
