Reviews for Threshfield Court Care Home

"My mother who had Alzeimers recently died. She had been a resident for over three years. I could not have wished for better care and support for her. not to mention the end of life support which was unbelievable. I could not praise the staff and management enough. It is very challenging supporting people with alzeimers but they provided the care she needed. Despite her condition I believe she was happy at the home. This provided great comfort to her family."

"I have been visiting a friend for over 12 months and can honestly say the service to residents and visitors is exceptional. I have recomended Threshfield Court to anyone who has asked for my opinion, I cannot recomend the place more highly. Perfect. I am made to feel so welcomed every time I visit (3 times a week.)"

"A truly first class facility with the caring and professional staff team to ensure a throughly safe, secure and successful stay! Mum was resident for more than a year before passing away peacefully. I can not priase the staff highly eough. Care was brilliant, medial support first class and the food, support and personal care was exemplary! Even at times when the home was very busy staff made time for individual support and care and always made time for a cuppa and a chat. The individual attention was also much appreciated - the 'would you like a cuppa', popping in for a quick chat, 'how are you today' made all the difference and gave family the confidence and trust to know mum was in good hands. Staff are a genuine team! with clear support and care / concern for one another. This then feeds-thru to residents in that there is uniformity of care, standards are upheld and quality is foremost. Honest!"

"We sadly lost our mother in January and are really missing our regular visits. Mum was a resident at Threshfield for 3 years but, prior to this, had respite care on a number of occasions for up to 3 weeks duration. We have been impressed with all the staff, who always made us feel welcome, but in particular for the standard of care they gave mum. She was able to live her final years in lovely surroundings and with excellent nursing care. We loved seeing all the photos on the social media page, particularly when the animals visited. It kept us in the loop and gave us peace of mind that mum was involved in the many activities. We are also extremely grateful for the support the staff gave us in the last few days of mum's life. They carried out regular checks on mum but did so unobtrusively, giving us space to spend time alone with her. The staff also offered us food and drink and couldn't have been kinder when the end approached. We are so lucky to have found this wonderful care home."

"My mother has been a resident in Threshfield Court Care Home for the last 6 years. During that time her care has been second to none. She was almost totally deaf and had sight issues as well as advanced dementia but EVERY member of the staff team treated her with respect and compassion. She had the happiest time living there."

"Thank you all for the care you gave my sister on her recent visit, sorry I did not come indoors to collect her but had a bad cold and did not want to pass it on. She came home clean and happy. Thank you all again."

"I cannot thank all the staff at Threshfield Court enough for the kindness and care they give to Mum. All the staff are very friendly and will stop to say a jolly hello to Mum making her feel special. Mum often takes part in the activities and especially loves trips out in the minibus, singing and being in the garden. In the last few weeks, there were visits from a miniature horse and two dachshund puppies, which brought such happiness to the residents and the sharing of memories of the pets they've had. The garden is lovely and well looked after. There's a small woodland area which is a lovely shady place to sit on a hot summer's day to watch and listen to all the birds. The secret garden provides shelter on a blustery day and the pond is home to quite a number of fish, frogs and even a couple of ducks!"

"This has been a very difficult time for those managing residents and particularly, for those trying to visit relatives during Covid. Despite these difficult times, I feel though Mum has declined a little since lockdown. She has done remarkably well, and this must be partly down to the great help and support Mum gets from the excellent care staff at Threshfield."

"Staff are always welcoming and attentive to residents. Mum has settled in nicely and is happy, she enjoys the trips out in the minibus and enjoys the food. Threshfield Court is truly a home-from-home. Mum arrived here in January 2022."

"It was a big decision to put Dad in a care home but after 3.5 years as a carer, I was looking for a break. Threshfield were offering a two-week trial period at reduced rates and I decided to try this out. I was glad that I did, I was pleased with the setting and attentiveness of the staff. Dad has now been a resident for over one year and is well-supported and cared for. The staff are friendly and cheerful, it provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is very good and I know Dad always enjoys his meals. Despite the inevitable guilt feelings, it was a good choice."

"This is my dad's second respite visit and like the first time he has been very well cared for. The nursing staff are always on hand to offer assistance, dealing with all his needs and requirements. Sympathetically understanding his dementia and the demands this can cause. We as a family have felt totally reassured that he is being extremely well cared for. Spotlessly clean throughout the home and the food on offer is excellent and varied. Would Highly recommend it."

"The first six months in Threshfield Court have flown by. Mum has settled in well, enjoys the activities and is well cared for. The consistency of care staff allows meaningful conversations about her well-being, which is very reassuring. The home is in a lovely setting and the garden is great for a short stroll or to sit in the lounge having a chat and a coffee whilst looking at the flowers and birds."

"I was so pleased that so many of the staff took so much trouble to make sure I was comfortable. If I had been a permanent resident, it would have been helpful to have tried to find a different type of mattress on the bed, the one I had tended to make me feel hot and sticky and was not easy for me to work my way from the edge and was "rubberised". The staff were often very pressured but always tried to help as quickly as possible."

"Mother was fast-tracked to Threshfied from the hospital, meaning that her life expectancy was very limited. Since she has been here, she has thrived, and seven months later, she is doing really well. She is obviously restricted in her mobility and is limited in many things because of multiple strokes. The staff here are excellent, and both my brother and I are very impressed with Mum's care. She is very happy and content here and never has any complaints. Overall, an excellent facility."

"Have now been to Threshfield Court as a short-stay resident several times. I have found the staff (both nursing and care staff) kind, understanding and helpful. I think I have been well looked after, and my medication has been administered. However, at the weekends especially, the service seemed rather slow, and I think this is a staff issue and is the same in many care homes. Keep up the great work."

"I found it very difficult to come to terms with my husband's deteriorating health and inability to continue to care for him at home during lockdown. The decision to place him in residential care was heartbreaking. However, the staff at Threshfield Court worked tirelessly in very difficult circumstances (amidst Covid-19) to support us both and to embrace my husband's needs. I was particularly impressed by the way every member of staff knew him by name and treated him with warmth and dignity. Although my memories of Threshfield Court are inevitably tainted with sadness, I am confident that I could not have chosen a better place to care for my husband in the latter stages of his illness."

"Barchester Threshfield Court Care Home is always so welcoming and the staff are all so good with Dad. They are very friendly and made him feel comfortable and at ease. Everyone tried to help as best they can and ensure that Dad feels one of the family. Barchester Threshfield Court Care Home is a very professional yet homely place for Dad to live and I am so grateful for how well he is looked after."

"My mother has been a resident of this home for a few years with dementia and unable to move or walk, totally bedridden. She has had the best care ever. If it had not been for the staff who have looked after her for years she would not have survived. The staff have provided special food and the best ever care needed for all her ailments, a big thank you, keep up the good work."

"My mother was taken to Thresgfield directly from a time in hospital. I was a little worried as I hadn't researched or chosen a home, but she received the best possible care and attention that I could ever have hoped for. She has a lovely, clean and airy room, and all the staff were friendly care caring. I never had cause for concern or complaint in the four years that Mum was a resident there. I think we were very lucky."

"The staff have made every effort to make sure my mother is settled and content. As relatives, we always feel valued and welcome when visiting, and there is a relaxed, open atmosphere in the care home, with very approachable staff in all areas. One suggestion is to have a member of staff trained in the use of modern hearing aids - hearing is critical to mental health, and I think this could be greatly improved. Everything else is extremely good."

"During the week, Mum is cared for very well and her room is kept clean. The activities coordinator tries her hardest to get Mum to join in activities and managed to get her out on Thursday to a creamery centre, which she enjoyed. I know Mum is hard to please but appreciate the efforts the staff make in her day-to-day living. Thank you to all the staff."

"I live in the US and typically visit my mother every three to four months. During my recent visit in September, I witnessed several staff going the extra mile with my mother's care. As her dementia progresses, she can be quite be quite difficult to care for and rude to staff. Despite this, the staff continue to give their utmost care and attention to her."

"As soon as you enter the care home you are greeted by the friendly care home staff who always greet you with a smile. It's always clean and fresh and always a lovely homecooked smell coming from the kitchen - it must make the residents feel very comforted. The lovely staff and the activities coordinator go above and beyond to make the residents (my great-auntie) feel cared for and loved, for example, getting them well-thought-out presents or little outings to farms to see animals. Overall, a splendid care home with very caring staff."

"Barchester Threshfield Court Care Home is conveniently located very near our daughter's house. My husband has stayed on two occasions. He has had a room overlooking the garden. Staff have helped with all aspects of his care in a friendly, professional, sensitive and caring manner. I have been able to join my husband for lunch in the restaurant or in the coffee area, whichever we preferred. Decor and communal areas are lovely."

"I am delighted that my husband is able to reside at Threshfield Court. It has made an enormous difference with regards to his health and well-being. When first arriving he wanted to come home with me as he did not understand the situation. Thanks to the staff, who are first class, caring, kind, very friendly, professional, and patient, he now appears to have settled. The activities are another bonus and so interesting for the residents - alpacas, puppies, excursions to the surrounding areas in the mini bus, outside guests with all sorts of agendas to amuse. The grounds in which to saunter around, are very calming with the fauna and flora. Another surprise was a homemade birthday cake, with candles, presented to my husband - he was thrilled! Threshfield Court is an accolade to all who help make the residents and their families/friends feel at home. I can happily recommend Threshfield Court Care Home."

"I feel Threshfield provides an excellent setting/service/care for my mum. All staff are very kind and attentive. My last visit on Mother’s Day, plus my mum’s 94th birthday was very memorable and special. I attended with 7 members of my family and we were made very welcome. We sat in the lounge on the ground floor. Coffee and biscuits were offered by the lady at the front desk. Additionally, she kept asking us throughout our visit if we were all Ok. The lady in charge of entertainment took a picture of my mum with all her family under a very large display of balloons which had Happy Mother’s Day at its centre. This made our visit extra special because we had a photo as a memory. She showed genuine care and affection for all the residents she took photos of."

"My husband appears settled and happy at Threshfield Court, and after an initial stay of 28 days, my family and I have decided to make his residency permanent. He enjoys the carried activities. The staff are very caring and courteous. Sometimes the unit appears very quiet, but that could coincide with my afternoon and weekend visits. The surroundings are lovely, and hopefully, outdoor activities will be possible as the weather improves."

"My father lived at Threshfield Court Care Home for 8 months and passed away on 19th January 2024. The care he received was kind, caring and thoughtful, he always sat in his own chair looking out of the large lounge windows at the bird table he loved and when he wanted to he joined in activities that were available. His end-of-life care was so caring and staff could not have done more for us as a family at what was a very sad time, they were genuinely sympathetic and anticipated all his and our needs during his last hours. We were so impressed with his care, it made his passing easier for us. Thank you."

"Visited a new resident recently. From arriving at Barchester Threshfield Court Care Home to leaving, 3 hours later, the friendliness and professionalism of the staff were first-class. Genuinely interested in getting to know my friend to help her settle in. Every staff member we met introduced themselves and made a point of talking to residents. The home was immaculate and spotless with very comfortable lounges. Hospitality towards visitors was exceptional."

"Reluctantly we had to get help from social services in March 2022 and then decide to put my mother-in-law into respite care to start with knowing it would become permanent afterwards. We looked around numerous homes and at CQC reports, but Threshfield was also recommended to us as a friend's relative was already a resident. When my husband and I came round, we were treated with respect and shown the facilities available, We particular loved the fact there was huge gardens/wood area as my mother-in-law loves the outdoors, along with many activities constantly, including trips out in a mini bus and hairdressers available on site too - all the things to help stimulate her. Loved that at meal times, there were options for a glass of wine or shandy as she loves her tipple! The staff have been very supportive over the past 11 months and treat residents with respect. We would have no hesitation in recommending it to others."

"My mother was a resident for the last eight months of her life. She had been discharged from hospital in poor health and needing nursing care - no one expected her to live very long. With the professional, loving care given in Threshfield Court she got a new lease of life and her time there was the best it could possibly have been. The staff are without exception absolutely fantastic - they treat residents with care and dignity but also love, humour and tenderness. My mother enjoyed life and was contented despite the physical challenges she faced and her dementia. The staff are brilliant at communicating with people living with dementia. My mother had a superb carer who was allocated to be her particular point of contact and he was wonderful and she loved him. The way that the home is organised ensures that there is continuity of care for residents and it was very reassuring to speak to staff who all recognised who we were and passed on accurate information about our mother."

"My residency has been as a respite care patient for serval short periods during the last year. In those occasions, I was able to observe and receive the excellent care and attention administered by the dedicated nursing and caring staff. It is testimony to the ability of the management to assemble together a group of man and women of different cultures to look after the people who are no longer able to look after themselves. Not forgetting the Chefs and their staff and the household and maintenance personnel, all who contribute to the smooth running of the home."

"My Dad has been in Threshfield Court for 6 weeks. In that time, the care by the staff, the food, the trips out up The Dales in the minibus to see the lambs and countryside in full Spring bloom and the activities provided have all been exceptional. The room was a little disappointing (a little tired) but the rooms are in the process of being updated. We have moved to a slightly better room. The compassion, empathy, patience and sense of humour by staff is amazing."
