Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home

We've had a fantastic surprise this week!

10 little ducklings  with their mum were spotted by staff and residents in one of our courtyards. They nest every year in one of the bushes - they must feel very safe and secure!

From indoors and without disturbing the new family, we got to watch them exploring the surroundings and enjoying the sunny morning.

They looked so cute.

This morning residents enjoyed the smell of fresh flowers whilst they were making creative arrangements.

It got some of the residents reminiscing about when they used to do it for their local Church or for village hall events. It is always a social activity and the home loves seeing the finished arrangements throughout the home after.

Residents have enjoyed attending the Age UK coffee morning at The Black Bear pub in Tewkesbury.

It was lovely to meet and chat with the local community and also meeting Lauren Woods from Gloucestershire Rural Community Council, who discussed about her role in the community, IT security, scams awareness and ways of using technology. We look forward to Lauren coming to Tewkesbury Fields to talk to all our residents and families.

We look forward to continue attending these weekly meetings.

The lounge looked vibrant with the flags and bunting to celebrate St Georges Day.

Our residents chose to celebrate the day with a good "sing - a - long" and dancing.

At Tewkesbury Fields we can discover many ways of joining in with dancing.

Happy St Georges Day To All.

We've had a fabulous weekend at Tewkesbury Fields.

In the morning residents and staff enjoyed listening to Nick from Mini Concerts, who sang the most beautiful songs; of course we had to get up and dance. 

As it has been such a beautiful sunny day, some residents enjoyed a relaxing afternoon reading a book in outdoors, or enjoyed a walk with the care team.

Others enjoyed showing off their creative talents painting pebbles.

Our regular gardening club took advantage of a warm spring day and planted potatoes and some summer bulbs.

We also admired our tulips that looked splendid in the pots on our decked patio outside Bushley Lounge.

We look forward to the gardening club with the warmer weather hopefully heading our way!

Eddie, our head of maintenance was also delighted to be able to start and mow our beautiful lawns, and our residents enjoyed the smell of the fresh cut grass as they commented "it was a sign of the warmer weather on it's way" ( We are very positive thinkers at Tewkesbury Fields!)
