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

Activities Coordinator

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.

Christmas Cake Competition Part1

Christmas isn't the same without the main attraction…The Cake!

The residents of Field House have started to prepare their entry into this years’ Barchester Christmas Cake Competition.

They decided on the classic fruitcake base, Betty and Pat tried very hard not to eat all the glazed cherries as all the rich ingredients were chopped, weighed and mixed together.

Elizabeth who doesn't usually join the baking club certainly got into the Christmas spirit and loved being part of the Christmas cake creation team. We can’t wait to decorate; the design process is already underway, we’ll keep you all updated on the progress.

Another fantastic evening at Field House our indoor bonfire party was a success with laughter and smiles all round. The sound of fireworks watching a firework display and our own wall light firework. Our residents enjoyed mulled wine, home made tomato soup, hot dogs and chef Dan also make popcorn. The residents loved toasty marshmallows and after had fun waving their glow sticks around.
