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.

Official VIP Opening Event
Tewkesbury Fields, Barchester Healthcare’s new luxury care home in Bushley, has opened its doors in style, with a Grand Opening performed by the Lord-Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, Edward Gillespie OBE, in front of assembled community leaders. It was a beautiful day which was enjoyed by all. A special thank you goes to Lord-Lieutenant Edward Gillespie OBE for officially opening the home. He commented that Tewkesbury Fields is a “magnificent home.” Our guests enjoyed a 5 star selection of canapés whilst enjoying music played by talented harpist Ruth Cartledge. They were also joined by community project – Stitch Story. Guests were able to add a stitch to the boards and are now a part of an amazing tapestry that will be displayed in Tewkesbury to commemorate all that Tewkesbury is. Tewkesbury Fields are excited to welcome their first residents in the coming days and showcase the beautiful newly refurbished home.
