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
A visit to David Austin's Rose Garden
Residents enjoyed a day at David Austin’s rose gardens, where they walked around the beautiful grounds and saw amazing roses and water features. Residents then enjoyed a 3 course lunch which was provided by the garden centre in the marque. Residents picked and brought some lovely new roses from the shop to bring back to Field House to plant later that evening. The weather was amazing and really allowed us take in the surroundings and enjoy the grounds.
Enjoying the Summer sunshine in the garden
We’ve had glorious sunshine in Church Stretton, with lots of residents enjoying their dinner outside in the garden. Sun hat on and cream applied, cool refreshing drinks at the ready, we’ve been making the most of the sun and warm weather. We are very much looking forward to our “Vintage Tea Party” in the garden on Saturday 3oth June.
