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.

And proudly shared photos of her Father when he was also in the Grenadier Band.

Flower arranging and Pumpkin Carving

This week we created beautiful flower arrangements with pumpkins to place around the homes grounds.

Residents became very imaginative with their pumpkin carving and as always very competitive! It is such a lovely time in our crafting club as we always enjoy reminiscing and listening to each others memories.
