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
Birthday celebrations
At Threshfield Court, we really enjoy a birthday celebration using our 'Jolly Trolley', it makes the day extra special and every resident receives a lovely personalised gift along with a birthday card signed by everyone. As part of the celebrations our hospitality team make a delicious home-made birthday cake which we pop candles on. We never reveal a person’s age using the correct candles! Happy Birthday
Games morning
At Threshfield Court, we love to play old fashioned board games – Connect four and dominoes are two of our firm favourites. They are interactive and sometimes very competitive! Today, we have enjoyed a game as the sounds of old fashioned music played in the background, along with a refreshing cup of tea to hand. There was lots of conversation, laughs and fun.
Baking fun at Threshfield Court
When its wet , snowy and grey outside we play our favourite tunes on the music box and bake. This week, we made a superb batch of Mary Berry’s Fruit Scones. Baking in the morning just before lunch creates a lovely aroma in our dining room. The hardest part was watching them cool whilst we enjoyed a cup of tea and a chat. We will be serving them this afternoon with some butter and apricot jam.
Magical snow at Threshfield
Threshfield Court are very lucky to have beautiful grounds and everywhere looks amazing covered with snow, the garden looked magically dusted from the recent snow especially when we are sat inside nice and warm and cosy! The homes activities coordinator brought a little of the snow inside for everyone to have a touch and feel.
There were lots of conversations about snow ball fights, sledging and the snowmen which everyone built when they were younger.
Painting to relax
Throughout the month for some of us, it has been a time to relax and enjoy the short days whilst watching the winter weather outside and us being warm and cosy inside.
Our residents recently enjoyed Aqua Painting listening to a Bird Song Waterfall CD in the back ground. It was a peaceful morning and really enjoyable. It is a shame that the pictures disappear after a short time, but, it is good for the environment and we do enjoy guessing the pictures
