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.

Indoor Skittles!

This week we've been up to some challenges and fun.

Playing skittles seems to be one of the residents favourite activities this week at Tewkesbury Fields.
Some had previously played the game and others wanted to enter the challenge for a little bit of fun but also learn about it.

We all had a good morning of laughter and didn't get too competitive.

Gardening In The Sunshine

Gardening in the sunshine Gardening Club was a delight this morning in the sunshine. We planted up some spring planters and built a new bird feeder. These were strategically placed to give the residents residing in our Abbey community prime viewing.

At Tewkesbury Fields we support and encourage our residents to continue doing the things they love whilst also developing new friendships and learning new skills.

Supporting Local Charities

We were delighted to receive a certificate of appreciation from Seren's Wish Charity thanking the home for our continuous support for their amazing charity. Seren's Wish provides help and support to the families and children of Bishops Cleeve, Tewkesbury and beyond. They support everyday essentials alongside their annual toy appeal to make the lives of our community better.The team at Tewkesbury Fields always engage in supporting local charities and we look forward to another successful 2025 supporting this deserving charity.
