Florence Court Care Home

A Delightful School Visit!

We had such a sweet visit from West Hill Park School recently. The residents and children were all very engaged in various games and puzzles!

Their visits bring a lot of happiness to our residents and bring back lovely memories about their children, and even their own childhood!

We can't wait to have them back again soon!

Tewkesbury Fields Care Home

Visit from John Moore Musuem

This week we've welcomed wonderful team members from The John Moore Museum, who delivered another interesting talk on historical items from the Tudors time.

Angela brought some random items from the Museum today, which the residents enjoyed talking and learning more about.

We also shared and talked about some of our crafts talents with each other; Angela brought one of the fantastic pieces of artwork done by one of the volunteers at the Museum, and one of our residents shared her embroidery skills with everyone by showing some of her work.

We celebrate St George's Day

Happy St George’s Day.

The decorations have truly brought a sense of celebration and pride throughout Tewkesbury Fields, creating a lovely atmosphere for both our residents and team to enjoy. It’s these thoughtful touches that make such a difference and turn special days into meaningful moments for everyone.

We enjoyed the social time, and a coffee morning with a themed St. George's day quiz.

We’re so lucky to have such dedicated team members who put their heart into everything they do — a true reflection of our whole home approach
