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!

Life at Threshfield Court Care Home
Spring is in the Air!
Today we had a lovely stroll in the garden here at Threshfield! Some of our residents took some time out of the day to spend in the garden to enjoy the fresh air and connect with nature.
We have a beautiful garden here at Threshfield Court where we often relax and enjoy the wildlife. Sometimes we even get lucky with the sunshine.
Our resident ducks seemed to enjoy themselves too!
Shopping Trip
This morning our magical minibus adventure was a trip to our local Morrison’s supermarket in Skipton.
Trips out with our residents to the supermarket provide so many benefits for community engagement, they allow our residents to interact with staff and customers, reducing feelings of isolation.
They also give each one of us a sense of control which boosts self-esteem and encourages our residents to make their own choices, maintaining their independence. This kind of trip also helps in keeping their minds active.
Overall, outings such as this enhance the well-being of all our residents and help to keep connected with our local community.
Hydration and Nutrition Week
This morning, our residents created some amazing fruit salad platters. I must admit though, we couldn’t resist trying all the fruits...just to make sure they were okay!
Hydration and nutrition are crucial for all our residents. It can significantly enhance the quality of life and promote overall health and well-being.
Technology Engagement
We are excited to introduce our new Rainbow Sensory Table.
This is designed to enhance engagement and creativity amongst all our residents. This interactive setup not only provides a colourful and stimulating environment but also integrates technology to make the experience even more enriching.
It boosts sensory development and social interaction.
Time to talk day
What an amazing day we had yesterday raising awareness of mental health.
Our amazing chef, Jason, baked some homemade shortbread for our residents to hand out to our local community in and around Threshfield. Our aim was to hand out our shortbread biscuits to everyone so they could have a cuppa and biscuits and just have a chat with their friends, family and colleagues and make sure they were all okay.
Community engagement plays such an important role for everyone, and it’s a brilliant way of getting to talk to each and every one of our wonderful friends in the community.
Minibus Outing
Today our residents enjoyed their magical minibus Christmas shopping adventure.
We’ve not stopped all day.
Our first stop off was at the Damart Clothes shop in Bingley…
We shopped till we dropped!
We ventured back into Skipton to Swadford Café where we had our lunch. It’s safe to say we indulged on their delicious homemade food. An absolute treat!!!
Once bellies were full. We ventured back out and across the road to Boyes store.
Again…we shopped till we dropped.
We couldn’t get on the minibus with all the shopping we bought…
Having this independence to go on a simple yet fulfilling day out is so important for our residents.
It improves their social interaction, boosts self-esteem and confidence. But most of all, they have fun.
