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.

Happy 80th Birthday Pat!
A fantastic birthday wish was granted!
For the special day of celebrating a big 80th birthday, we've asked Pat what cake and meal she wanted.
Pat requested an Angel Food cake and KFC for her meal.
Well done to our Head chef who has never made this type of cake before! Pat commented that it was very good, and it has brought back many memories, as this was always the cake Pat used to have for all her birthdays.
Oh, and the dark chocolate bar
Together, the team and Pat's family, we made the wish come true and Pat has had a lovely day!
