Activities at Tixover House Care Home
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.
Nicola Blevins-Twose
Hello, my name is Nicola (Nic) and I'm the Activities Coordinator here at Tixover House.
My role is to enrich the lives of our residents by providing stimulating and person-centred activities, entertainers and outings. At Tixover House we offer something for everyone, including crafts, games, virtual visits to places of interest around the world, outings in the local area and parties. We also provide one-to-one time and sensory activities with residents who need more support. Getting to know our residents better is so important, and through regular family and friends meeting we can gain a greater understanding of their loved ones' interests and life prior to joining Tixover House.
I look forward to getting to know you, and your loved ones. 'Living life to the full' is my motto, and whatever your ability there is always something new to learn or try.
We are always open to new ideas. If you would like to get involved in any of our Life Enrichment activities or have a skill, or project you'd like to share with our residents, please click here to contact me direct. New entertainers and community links are always welcome.

Life at Tixover House Care Home
National biscuit day
On national biscuit day we tried all our favourites at Tixover House. We remembered the ones we ate at Granny's house, or at children's parties. Did we ever decide whether these are cakes or biscuits?
Pre-wedding party
Sam's family came in for a pre-wedding party for his son. We all enjoyed cake and tot of whisky to wash it down. Congratulations from everyone at Tixover House.
A thankful day
Today at Tixover House we discussed what we were thankful for. It turned out most of us appreciate the simple things - care, people, a cup of tea and a chat.
Sensory experiences
Today we had lots of sensory activities. General Manager, Ive, danced with residents to their favourite music. There was tea tasting, touching knitted items and other textures, and smelling some essential oils. It was a fun and stimulating session at Tixover House.
Monday haircuts
Hairdresser, Charlie, is at Tixover House every Monday to make sure residents are all perfectly trimmed, washed and set.
Bee kind
Did you know...35 species of bee are endangered in the UK. To do our bit to help these funny but vital little creatures, we made some bee bombs, full of the right sort of seeds for bees, and we scattered them in the gardens at Tixover House.
