Activities at Field House Care Home
The Activities Coordinators here at Field House are always keen to learn about residents' interests and hobbies, tailoring meaningful activities to the likes and dislikes of those we support. Our mission is to ignite the past, appeal to current interests and embrace new ones, improving quality of life whilst stimulating the mind and senses. Activities are carried out via small groups or individually, supported by local volunteers. We have access to a range of local community facilities and nearby places of interest, prompting community engagement, and hold special events at the home, where we are entertained by guest vocalists and performers, with 'The Quiz Master' being a fan favourite.
Caroline Davis
Hi, I'm Caroline and I joined Field House in 2021 from another Barchester home. I have worked in care for the last 30 years and a big part of that has been with Barchester.
Here at Field House, I organise a variety of activities and social events within the home and in the community, such as gardening club arts and crafts, weekly exercise sessions along with live singers and musicians every month. We are also keen on regular outings to local landmarks, museums, cafes and shopping centres.
In my job, I'm able to develop excellent relationships with residents and their families providing the support they need. I am very passionate about my job role as it is very important to us as a team that every individual is able to live the life they wish and feel fulfilled in their everyday activities maintaining past hobbies and finding new ones.

Life at Field House Care Home
Jubilee Celebrations
Audrey was reunited with her Son who she hasn’t seen for nearly three years due to covid and him not being able to visit from Australia, what a treat this was! We all enjoyed the Jubilee celebrations and seeing Audrey reunited with her son. A lovely day was had by all.
Jenga Champion
Peter just can’t be beaten at Jenga!! When we first took this game from the box Peter had no idea what it was, he said I can’t play this I don’t know what it is. He was encouraged to have a go and he was just engrossed, he has a very steady hand and he can sit and play for hours. Everyone has tried to beat him but we just can’t!
Birthday Flowers
Margaret was really humbled and over the moon with all of her birthday flowers, she did not know that she was so loved!
Making Pizza
Here at Field House we like to take the whole home approach, so we decided that for tea we would all make our own pizza it was delicious!
Flower Arranging Afternoon
A relaxing afternoon flower arranging was had by some of our fabulous ladies, creating handmade arrangements for our dining area for all our residents to enjoy. A very big thank you for the very kind and generous donation of fresh flowers from Church Stretton Co op.
Painting Like Pollock!
On Jackson Pollock's Birthday here at Field House we took some inspiration and tried our hand at painting like Pollock. It was very messy and so much fun. Save us a space at the National Gallery!
