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
Bird Feeders making
Another wonderful afternoon making some bird feeders for our bird and squirrel friends!
With a lovely young helper, we always have so much fun making these and we love that is for a good cause - attracting nature to our gardens!
We can't wait to see who comes into our garden and enjoy these tasty treats!
Pets As Therapy visits
Residents had the pleasure to welcome back Durley, our Pets As Therapy dog!
Dudley loves to have cuddles and fuss from the residents and staff, and he certainly brings a smile to everyone's faces!
How lucky we all are, he brings so much joy to everyone.
We all look forward for more visits.
Getting pampered
Some days it's all about getting pampered.
Resident Barbara enjoyed a facial and a hand massage with our Activities coordinator in the home's Salon.
Amanda prepared a calming and relaxing environment by having relaxing music playing in the background while residents could just sit and enjoy getting pampered.
Birthday celebrations
We've supported Rosemary to celebrate her 98th birthday in style!
Residents and staff gathered in the lounge to sing and pass on birthday wishes to Rosemary.
Cake was enjoyed by all!
Stitch Story
Do you remember back in 2022 when more than 8000 people of Tewkesbury helped stitch an 8 metre long embroidery called Stitch Story?
We heard that it was displayed in Tewkesbury Abbey at the end of February, so we decided to visit!
Once again, it was lovely to see the final embroidery piece all together, as well as our contribution to this impressive project.
Lindy Hop dancing
As well as the Warm Space , there was an opportunity to learn basic Lindy Hop or watch the trained dancers.
There are a few Warm Spaces initiatives in Tewkesbury area, they are run by Tewkesbury Borough Council and are available to everyone to come in from the cold, have a hot drink, socialise and meet new people from the local community.
