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
Opera performance
Our homes had a fabulous time with the talented soprano Astrid Joos from Street Theatre. Astrid spoke about a selection of famous operas and our residents were treated to performances of wonderful arias from operas well-known to all, such as ‘Giuditta’, ‘Don Giovanni’ and ‘Le Nozze di Figaro’.
It was a lovely experience, truly enjoyed by all.
Keeping the mind active
It is a hot day at Threshfield Court Care Centre today. We are not complaining but are adapting our Activity Program to suit this lovely weather. Today we have had a loving morning doing some relaxing jigsaws and aqua painting whilst listening to a Pan Pipe Mood CD. The music was so popular, that it was the requested listening with our dining experience”.
Sensory games
When it is a hot day at Threshfield Court Care Centre we use our Magic Table. We darken the room which makes it nice and cool and we really enjoy interacting with the many games on the table. The table creates moments of happiness and positive well-being. The games are developed for people with a cognitive challenge, such as people with dementia, or for those that just want to have fun.”
Celebrating all things chocolate!
At Threshfield Court Centre it was a challenge keeping our chocolate cool and just at the right temperate to celebrate National Chocolate Day. We had an amazing day with everything themed around chocolate. It was good fun though, but you can only eat and enjoy so much. We enjoyed discussions about how the bars had changed over the years and how small they now seem to be. A lighter lunch was served!.
Happy Birthday!
At Threshfield Court Care Centre every day is a special day. However, today it was extra special as one our residents celebrated her 93rd birthday. It was a beautiful sunny day where the family came and took the birthday girl out for a birthday lunch. There was an opportunity to enjoy some birthday cake later in the day and unwrap all the birthday gifts and cards. A very Happy Birthday indeed!
Dr Tim Howard discusses book
Residents across our homes had a lovely time joining Dr Tim Howard, 4th generation GP, whose whole life has been about patient care, for an exciting virtual event to discuss his novel ‘Let’s Kill All The Lawyers’.
The novel is a medical fiction thriller that explores the impact of life and death events, mistakes and forgiveness, and the impact of law and justice on the day- to-day lives of ordinary people doing their best in difficult circumstances.
Residents had the chance to ask their own questions once the discussion was over and a great time was had by all.
