Activities at Threshfield Court Care Home
Here at Threshfield Court, we aim to tailor the activities to meet the needs of individual residents, the communities within the home and the home as a whole. We have regular, structured activities such as visits from Music for Health, specialist armchair exercise facilitators, local musicians and a growing team of volunteers, including our local clergy. We also have time for arts and crafts, all sorts of games, music, poetry and lots more. We are pretty good at being spontaneous too!
Claire Boocock
Hi, my name is Claire Boocock. I come from a background of hospitality and working in the Care Home sector is very new for me but already immense job satisfaction in working with our residents alongside a great team.
I am very excited about this new venture in my career. I am an outgoing person with a big bubbly personality and looking forward to making a big difference to the social well-being of our residents with my flair of creativity and adventure.

Life at Threshfield Court Care Home
National Nestbox Week
We were excited to take part in this year’s National Nestbox week – an initiative making more homes for Britain’s birds since 1997.
Our residents had fun making and learning how to decorate nest boxes. We then put up the nest boxes in our local area to promote the conversation of breeding birds and wildlife. Garden songbirds can struggle to find suitable nesting holes and cavities if there are a lack of mature trees in the area.
We all had a great time and can’t wait to see more birds in our garden.
Care Practitioner celebrates 15-years long service
A Care Practitioner at Threshfield Court in Threshfield has received a prestigious 15 Year Service Award in celebration of working at Barchester Healthcare for 15 years.
Elsa Guimbal, now Care Practitioner, started at Barchester in December 2006 and has worked with residents and their relatives to ensure that their needs have been met over the years.
Painting trees
We do enjoy the mornings where we listen to Pan Pipe music playing in the back ground and happily paint our wooden trees and hearts. Music and painting suits all abilities and it is very beneficial for anyone that just needs a relaxing activity.
Sand art
Sand Art is a lovely simple activity that is just so relaxing. We spent a lovely morning listening to a birdsong waterfall CD whilst spending quality time with each lady choosing colours and talking about sand in general. Building sand castles with the children and grand-children and our family holidays. Feeling the sand and choosing our favourite colours was just an amazing personal centred activity
Love is in the air
At Threshfield Court Care Centre love was in the air. We had a lovely creative morning with our foam love heart stand up trees which we individually decorated. It was a very simple but effective craft session which allowed all abilities to participate. We had an “Enya” CD playing in the back ground which just made a really relaxing morning
A jolly delight
At Threshfield Court we love using our “Jolly Trolley”. When its cold outside we can ignite our room with the arrival of our Jolly Trolley. It looks like we are providing an ice cream, but we are not. The interest that the Jolly Trolley creates is amazing and there really is something for everyone to enjoy. It is fully transportable and such a useful piece of equipment
