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.

Life at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home

Community Cafe

At Tewkesbury Fields we value the support from our local community. And as a thank you we host a monthly Community Café. We enjoyed welcoming local residents and offering complimentary refreshments, whilst we sat and talked in our Cotswold Dining Room.
Choice of soups was homemade Mushroom or Roasted Vegetable and Tomato served with warm cheese straws, followed by Chocolate cheesecake or Fruit trifle - enjoyed by all!

Next date is Thursday 6th March - Wonder what flavour soups and desserts our Chef will be offering?

Afternoon at the Garden Centre

We do enjoy visiting our local Garden Centre and seeing all the wonderful plants and having time to browse around their gift shop.

We always take time to stop for a relaxing chat and coffee.

"Singing In The Rain" At the Cinema

We still love watching a good movie - and last week we had a trip out to the local theatre. The Roses Theatre, is very much the heart of the community in Tewkesbury and we were delighted to go and watch the classic film "Singing in the Rain". We all sang and toe tapped along to this friendly morning screening at a wonderful venue.

Knit and Natter in the Community

Residents had a lovely morning at Bushley Village Hall attending the" Knit n' Natter group".We enjoyed having a chat with the local ladies in the community and see their knitting and craft projects. As always, we were welcomed with delicious refreshments and great company. We look forward to the next meetings and craft events.

Embracing Peace through Art

During this week, we've welcomed Megan from Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury to learn about the Peace Doves project that will take place at Tewkesbury Abbey very soon. Residents and staff wrote on paper doves, each capturing personal messages/reflections on what peace means to them. These beautiful doves will soon join thousands of others in the stunning Peace Doves exhibition at Tewkesbury Abbey - an event showcasing the power of art and community.
