Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home

Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Lest We Forget

Our residents have excelled today at our craft club. They have created Remembrance light up bottles. These will all be lit and placed around the home as a sign of our respect on Remembrance day. It was lovely to have residents, families and staff involved throughout the day.

Flower arranging and Pumpkin Carving

This week we created beautiful flower arrangements with pumpkins to place around the homes grounds.

Residents became very imaginative with their pumpkin carving and as always very competitive! It is such a lovely time in our crafting club as we always enjoy reminiscing and listening to each others memories.

We think all of the displays looked beautiful.
