Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Paula Lourenco
Hello, my name is Paula and I’m the Activities coordinator at Tewkesbury Fields care home. I’ve joined Barchester healthcare in 2020.
As part of the lifestyle enrichment team, I will be organising daily activities, ensuring that residents have varied activities to choose from each day. I love enriching our residents’ lives, creating memories and be able to provide meaningful activities to each one of the residents living at Tewkesbury fields.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
Ballroom Dancing
What a pleasure we all had watching two professionals dance for us.
This week we welcomed Terry and Jenny for a fabulous performance of Ballroom dancing demonstration to our residents. We watched them waltz, tango and foxtrot, We certainly had our feet tapping
It was such a great afternoon of reminisce and fun together. We will look forward to welcoming them back very soon.
Violinist Morning Performance
We had a very classical Saturday morning listening to Meg play beautifully the violin.
She played a wide range of music, we had some pieces from Opera and well known musicals.
Meg played in both lounges and then enjoyed learning about Marion's interest in the musical instruments as her father owned a music shop.
Such a relaxing and beautiful sound
Morning Crafts
Look at the beautiful little pots we've made.
We hold a weekly craft club and this morning we all got creative during the decoupage workshop with Brydie from Paint Pot Parties Ltd.
We always look forward to learning new techniques at our craft club and this morning gave us an insight into the endless crafts we can now adapt using decoupage - watch this space!
Classic Car Coffee morning
Sunday we welcomed Local Classic Car owners to come and have a coffee morning at Tewkesbury Fields.
They were warmly welcomed by our residents, families and staff and we had a wonderful morning recalling memories of cars owned by our residents from years past.
This was enjoyed by all and we have been asked if we can do it again and Classic car owners will bring more friends along. The next date will be Sunday 1st September.
Tour De Barchester
We've had an amazing time celebrating the arrival of the fabulous Tour de Barchester cyclists at Tewkesbury Fields.
Residents, families, staff and visitors gathered together as the chef cooked and served the delicious BBQ, we welcomed Emma from Mini Concerts who got us up dancing and singing together and we enjoyed socialising with each other in the gorgeous sunny weather.
Our fabulous resident ambassador Jack presented each cyclist with a medal to mark their visit at Tewkesbury Fields. It was also a time of reminiscence as Jack took part of the 1st Tour or Britain!
We also got to celebrate Barbara's birthday during the party with a delicious cake.
And yes, we REACHED 200 MILES on our exercise static bike
Fantastic everyone, well done!
