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.

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.

Sunny Classic Car Coffee Morning
What a beautiful morning we had watching an array of classic cars pull into our front car park.
The local car owners were so kind to call in and spend a few hours with our residents and staff to showcase their classic vehicles on our second Classic Car Coffee morning. We all enjoyed a bacon bap and cakes and sat relaxing in the Sunday morning sunshine.
The cars brought back lots of memories for our residents and was very interesting to listen to them sharing their memories of vehicles that they owned over the years.
We have been asked to have another one - so we will host another one on Sunday 6th October 2024, all welcome.
Gloucestershire Carers Hub
It was great to welcome again Stephen Moore, who is the Community facilitator from Gloucestershire Carers Hub. He attended our Open Day and was on hand to give out advice and Guidance.
Gloucestershire Carers Hub can offer a vast range of help including wellbeing support to unpaid carers within Gloucestershire as well as being able to signpost to other services. This is an invaluable service that many of our visitors found very beneficial.
