Activities at Threshfield Court Care Home

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.

Rev Tom Lusty kindly came to see the residents on Wednesday morning and held a small church service here in the lounge.

Rev Lusty brought ran order of service which had hymns, prayers and bible readings.

It was lovely to see the residents reminiscing when the music stared and singing along with the hymns.

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.
