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!

The history of Dogs Trust
Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity. Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.
Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.

A Visit from Zoolab!
On Friday 16th June the residents of Threshfield Court were visited by Harri, and his weird and wonderful creatures.
It was a most enjoyable afternoon as the residents were a little sceptical as to what to expect. The gentleman that came was very kind and helpful towards each resident, and his knowledge of the animals was incredible.
The residents had so much fun be able to touch most of the animals he brought with him.
We had a snake, rats, scorpion, frog, stick insects,
It was a fabulous afternoon..
