Activities at Tixover House Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Activities and Events Partnerships

Life at Tixover House Care Home
Independence Day Celebrations
We celebrated 4th of July in true American Style. Our home was decorated with themed flags as we hosted an American themed BBQ to mark the special occasion.
We enjoyed listening to some of the all-time favourite American hits, as we gathered together for classic hot dogs, burgers & macaroni cheese, followed by some refreshing beverages.
Tixover Celebrates 75 years of the NHS
Tixover House celebrated a special anniversary of the NHS as they celebrated their 75th anniversary.
Residents, their relatives and colleagues all got involved with the spirit of this monumental anniversary as our colleagues visited our local NHS heroes at the Stamford and Rutland General Hospital, whilst back at the home we welcomed entertainer David Cox for a themed afternoon of musical entertainment.
Celebrating Pride Month
This June, staff and residents at the Tixover have been creating decorations, festooning their home with rainbows and enjoying the colourful celebrations from around the world.
Lots of the festivities from different parts of the UK and from around the world are available to watch online and residents have had a fantastic time experiencing the different parades and carnivals on offer.
102nd Birthday Celebrations
Celebrations have been in full swing at Tixover House, as one of its residents reaches her 102nd year in style.
Beryl was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents as she celebrated her very special day. A champagne reception was held at the home and guests enjoyed a special birthday cake made by Anthony the home’s chef as beryl and her friends enjoyed a wonderful performance by Rebecca Barnes on her harp.
The birthday girl said: “the secret to a good long life is having a sense of humour and a glass of gin!”
Bucks Fizz and Sunshine
Residents, friends and family have had a lovely afternoon in our beautiful gardens.
Our residents enjoyed a refreshing glass of Buck’s Fizz whilst reminiscing and laughing together about summers gone by.
It was a wonderful day with lots of sunshine and smiles all round!
