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.

As part of the lifestyle enrichment team, I will be organising daily activities, ensuring that residents have varied activities to choose from each day.

Coffee morning with Bushley Parish Councilors

Linking the community!

We've invited and welcomed Bushley Parish Councillors for a coffee morning over at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home. After a tour around our recently refurnished luxury care home, we all enjoyed a delicious coffee cake prepared by our amazing and talented chef!

Lovely to discuss the events happening at Bushley Village Hall that our residents can join, as well as our upcoming events held at the home. It was lovely to meeting you all, thank you for coming and we look forward to welcoming you back to Tewkesbury Fields for future events.

In2cultures brings the sounds of Africa

Residents have enjoyed a visit from In2Cultures to bring the sounds of Africa.

Liz and Devinder  provided an exciting and enjoyable interactive music session. The beat of the drums got us all dancing, clapping, and singing. Both Liz and Devinder also talked about their passion for African percussion and shared their knowledge and expertise about the instruments and African life with the residents.

Pampered by Emma from CMB Style and Confidence

As requested by the ladies at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home, Emma from CMB Style Confidence, visited our home so they could have their colours done! Each resident had the opportunity to see which colours suit them best accordingly to their skin tone. And, afterwards, a little pampering session and makeup done too!

"What makes us feel good on the outside, makes us feel good inside!"

Furry Fun with Pets As Therapy

We had another wonderful morning today, when volunteers from the Gloucestershire branch of ‘Pets As Therapy’, came to visit with their dogs; Dudley, Dante, Briar and Riggs and spend time with our residents.

These very well behaved dogs only required a biscuit or two.......  and a cuddle from our residents, who were delighted to hear more about the dogs and the support Pet Therapy provides.  Thank you and we look forward to the next visit from our furry friends, Dudley, Dante, Briar and Riggs, and of course their owners, who gave up their time to bring the dogs to us.

Pets As Therapy (PAT), is a national charity who strive to ensure that everyone, no matter their circumstances, has access to the companionship of an animal.  For more information about this charity, please visit: Pets As Therapy
