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
Out & About
A few residents went on a morning trip to the local garden centre in Shrewsbury, where they enjoyed a hot drink and picked up some beautiful flowers to be planted in our garden.
A Furry Friend
Our Head of Housekeeping brought one of her three ferrets to Field House. Residents were amused by 'Chucky', who makes for such an unusual pet , but they had a great time watching him and even cuddling him!
Man's Best Friend
Our Activities Coordinator brought her puppy, Pepper, to Field House, and many residents enjoyed walking him around the garden and loved spending time cuddling with him!
Musical Morning
Many residents enjoyed a fantastic musical morning with Eve Whitmore in the conservatory. They loved singing, dancing and playing tambourines all at the rhythm of songs from classical musical movies!
Musical Magic
We love starting the week with a fantastic music show! Many residents really love listening and singing along to Pat and her amazing piano in the conservatory.
Getting to Know You
A few residents sat down together to play Barchester's 'Getting to Know You Board Game', where the aim of the game is to learn as much as you can about the other players.
