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
Carol Service at Linton Church
Today we took a minibus outing to Linton Church.
Our residents enjoy monthly visits to the local church in Linton, but this visit was extra special as it was our Christmas Visit.
We sang carols and the vicar led a small but sweet service which helped to get everybody into the festive spirit!
We said our prayers and sang songs before enjoying light refreshments which were also lovely!
Armchair Aerobics
Armchair Aerobics is a very important part of fitness here at Threshfield Court.
These classes run every week for the residents to join in and everybody thoroughly enjoys them!
Exercises are good for self-esteem and motivation, they're proven to improve mental health and wellness, as well as physical fitness and stamina.
It keeps the residents active and strengthens their bodies.
Christmas Carols
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful morning singing Christmas Carols with Yorkshire Camps.
The group are a Christian Youth Fellowship.
We sang carols and said a few prayers before enjoying refreshments, mulled wine and mince pies.
It is so good to have the support of our local community.
Cafe
The last Thursday of each month Residents and staff of Threshfield host their very own Dementia Café.
We are proud to invite family, friends, and the local community.
Not only does our home have nurses and care staff trained in dementia, but we work closely with 'Dementia Up', and they kindly send out resources that can help families living with Dementia.
The afternoon was spent amongst friends sharing stories, over a cuppa and a cake.
Flower Arranging
Here at Threshfield Court the residents are very privileged to have Ruth Hall, a local lady who comes monthly to create some wonderful flower arrangements with the residents.
The residents have the opportunity to make their own arrangements choosing their own flowers.
Together as as group, we also made a beautiful wreath for our front door, which visitors who come to our home are able to admire.
Flower arranging is very good activity and all of our residents really enjoy it.
It has been proven to help develop and build cognitive skills and help become more independent.
Knit and Natter
Residents, staff and the local community meet to sew and natter.
As a group we have created a wall hanging made in Kawandi Style, which enabled participants to make a square a square in their own preferred colour –
This is now hanging on our Reception here at Threshfield.
