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!

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
Dream comes true
Our residents from farming backgrounds had expressed a wish to visit a local farm in springtime so staff at the home made their wishes a reality. Angela Cox has lived at Threshfield court for nearly 2 years and Jean Herd has lived at Threshfield for 5 years there and are both beloved by staff and residents alike.
Staff at the home were delighted to be a part of making their dream come true. With the help of the farm owners, Dan White and Emma Boocock they made a very memorable day for the residents, meeting all the lovely farm animals and then finished off with tea and cake in the boot room at the farm house.
Residents dream comes true
Resident, Leonard Furniss at Threshfield Court has always been a local HGV driver. Here at Threshfield Court we deliver person centred care by using our ‘Getting to Know Me’ books. These are created by our residents and families and are a picture of our residents’ lives and loves, so when we learnt of his driving experience and desire to get up and close to a vehicle once again, staff at the home made Leonard’s wish come true.
Leonard has lived at Threshfield Court for just over a year and is loved by staff and residents alike. Staff at the home were delighted to be a part of making his dream come true, as they knew how much it meant to him.
Puppies visit Threshfield
Threshfield was full of animal mischief when Senior Care home Manager, Stacey Nicholson, brought her two 12 week old Dachshund Puppies, Ivy and Willow, to the home.
General Manager Stacey Nicholson said: “Our residents have really enjoyed their unusual visitors today. We are always looking for new activities for the residents and today we have seen the enjoyment and the therapeutic influence animals can have on people.”
Claire our activity coordinator and Millie, Care Assistant went to see all the residents around the home with the two puppies.
It is safe to say everyone thoroughly enjoyed seeing willow and Ivy.
Historic Royal Palaces
Across our services, our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session. Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!
We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets. A lovely time was had by all.
Virtual Book Club
We had a lovely time joining Mark Piesing for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘N-4 Down: The Hunt for The Arctic Airship Italia’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fascinating story of the world-famous exploring airship Italia, returning from the North Pole on May 24, 1928. The airship was struck by a terrible storm and crashed somewhere over the Arctic ice, triggering the largest polar rescue mission in history.
A trip to Crosshills
Residents of Threshfield Court Care Centre had the fantastic opportunity to go to Crosshills, to the Trawler man Fish Restaurant for Lunch.
Our Resident’s hopped aboard the Minibus and their adventure began. On arrival at the Trawler man, we had a lovely warm welcome from all the team. Our menu choices were fabulous, some of us even managed to finish off with a milkshake.
Such a fabulous day engaging with community.
