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!

We all agreed that no matter how young or old we are, showing a bit of kindness to our partners, spouses, family and friends is so important. We have a number of true romantics amongst us!
Love is in the air
The month of February is a very special month to us at Threshfield Court as ‘Love is in the Air’. We decorate our communal areas with bright and cheerful colours and focus our Art and Craft Activities on reds, golds and pinks. We have lots of fun, reading poetry, listening to music and just chatting about years gone by. It provides us with those valuable moments where we reminisce and enjoy a little treat on Valentine’s Day.
