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.

Life at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
A surprise visit from Santa and Elf
On Boxing day, residents received a morning surprise from Santa and the Elf delivering presents to everyone.
Each resident received a meaningful gift which they’ve enjoyed opening.
In the afternoon, there were a choice of mince pies, Christmas cake and shortbread biscuits, accompanied with tea, coffee and mulled wine, that was enjoyed by all.
The home was filled with the spirit of the Christmas season, and the joy and smiles on the residents’ faces were truly heart-warming.
It's Panto time!
Oh, no it isn't! Oh, yes it is!
Residents, families and staff have had a wonderful afternoon out watching "Beauty and the Beast", at the Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury.
One Resident, said: “It was lovely to see the different generations on stage and the interaction with the audience was wonderful to be part of. Having moved to the area to be near my family the sense of community spirit is evident to see in Tewkesbury and the trip to the theatre is one of many I have enjoyed living in the area." What a fabulous performance!
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!
