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.

Barbara's and Jane's birthdays
Barbara and Jane have recently celebrated their birthdays.
Barbara had a busy day, and enjoyed some delicious birthday cake and a cup of tea with residents and staff at Tewkesbury Fields.
And Jane also enjoyed celebrating with staff, residents and family.
Everyone commented on how delicious the home made birthday cakes tasted!
Scottish Country Dance
We've welcomed members from The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society - Cheltenham Branch, who have come to do a demonstration of the Scottish dance for residents, families and staff.
We all got to learn a little more about the different types of dancing and how popular it has become all over the world.
Even staff members braved to learn a dance with the members; residents commented that they did well! All good fun for everyone!
Ice cream and a walk at Victoria Gardens
Making the most of the beautiful weather!
Vivienne and Jane have been on a trip out, enjoyed a walk and a delicious ice cream from The Ice Cream Cottage at Victoria Gardens in Tewkesbury!
The weather has been gorgeous, and we have been making the most of it by spending time outdoors, visiting local areas, including local gardens, garden centres, going for walks or go for an ice cream! Victoria gardens in Tewkesbury, is a beautiful place and with lovely relaxing views to spend an hour or two.
We should certainly visit more often.
Gardening time with Eddie
With the Summer sunny days coming ahead, Eddie - our Head of Maintenance, has been really busy maintaining our gardens with some wonderful new flowers and plants!
