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.
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.

Life at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
Twyning Christmas Parade Visit
The Home had a very special visit from Santa and his Sleigh which was made possible by the Twyning Community Parade volunteers, who brought some festive joy to the Home. There was singing, dancing and smiles all round and Residents got to support their very festive community fund raising efforts.
Traditional Decorating with the Cub Scouts
The 1st Bredon Cubs have been lending a hand to spread some festive cheer at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home by helping residents decorate the Home. The activities team set the challenge to make some festive decorations by hand with residents and together they crafted, trimmed and made some amazing festive paper chains which reached above 10 metres in length.
Elf Day Fun
It was a cold December day and the team pulled out all the stops to support the Alzheimer's Society. Residents enjoyed some fresh cake and a song or two and staff enjoyed dressing up for the occasion.
Remembrance
Residents had the privilege of attending Tewkesbury Remembrance Parade. Our Veteran Resident Richard wore his medals with pride and laid a Wreath at the War memorial cross, Tewkesbury. He was so pleased to be able to honour those who have given so much, and represent the Residents at the Home.
Residents and staff thanked all at Tewkesbury Town Council, Royal British Legion and all the Veterans for supporting us in making this very special and meaningful moment to happen for our residents.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
We've had a lovely morning taking part in the Macmillan Cancer Support World's Biggest Coffee Morning.
A lovely chance to get together for a chat and enjoy some delicious cakes with friends, family and staff.
Thank you to all those who supported us on this event, and to our Head chef Jane for baking many delicious cookies and cakes.
Richard's 91st birthday
We've celebrated Richard's birthday in style!
For his birthday, Richard made a wish of going on a cruise. At lunch time, we decided to surprise Richard with a captain's hat and with some other cruising accessories, including a pair of sunglasses!
Our chef has also made a special meal for Richard's special day to celebrate with everyone during lunch!
Big Happy 91st birthday!
