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

Activities Coordinator

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.

Chelsea Garden Show

Tixover House has been busy creating paper gardens and flowers in celebration of the Chelsea Flower Show. Beryl, who used to be an artist, has been very busy colouring wonderful pictures to put on display.

VE Day Celebrations

Tixover House had a wonderful celebration for the 75th VE Day anniversary! We created a fairground in our very own courtyard, and enjoyed old games, such as ‘Tin Can Alley’ and the ‘Coconut Shy.’ Smiles were ear-to-ear, and our lovely resident, John, who served in the Second World War, said it was "such a lovely celebration".

Learning New Skills

At Tixover House, our ladies have been busy learning a new skill and knitting some adorable little hearts! We are hoping to knit enough to send out to our local community to spread a little bit of love and positivity around. Nora was very pleased with her first attempt!

Baking at Tixover

Residents at Tixover House have been busy learning new skills. They have rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in with some baking, making wonderful chocolate cakes! After all this hard work, we enjoyed a well-needed tea break with our tasty cakes!

Knit & Natter

Knit & Natter groups are proving incredibly popular at Tixover House, but with a view like this, you can’t blame them! Our ladies love watching all of the lambs and sheep in the field opposite whilst knitting wonderful blankets and scarves!

A Kind Care Package

Tixover House was very humbled to receive a wonderful care package for the residents and staff from Morrisons in Stamford The care package was full of wonderful cakes, biscuits and Easter eggs, which were all enjoyed over a lovely cup to tea! We thank Morrisons for this wonderful act of kindness!
