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!

World Chocolate Day
Residents at Threshfield Court Care Home revelled in all things sweet on World Chocolate Day with a range of chocolatey activities on Tuesday 7th July. Residents enjoyed “Guess the Chocolate Bar”, strawberries drizzled with melted chocolate and a talk on the History of Chocolate.
Ana Pantaleon, Acting General Manager at Threshfield Court Care Home said: “Our head chef loves making sweet things and the rich chocolate mousse with whipped cream went down a treat at lunchtime. It was great to offer such a variety of chocolate bars. Very few of us have the opportunity to buy such a choice and enjoy them all in one go.”
