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.

Holistic Therapy

Ronan was here to massage residents hands, necks and shoulders. His visit was enjoyed by all, and the odd staff member could also be found having a pamper.

Sharing War Memories

For Armed Forces Week we had a British tea party with cake and cucumber sandwiches. We were entertained by Brian Maunders on his guitar, and our guest of honour was The Lord Lieutenant of Rutland, Dr Sarah Furness, who talked to our gentlemen and ladies about the war and other topics. A really god day was had by all, and we were photographed by The Rutland Mercury, and enjoyed the attention

Enjoying the Sunshine

We enjoyed having a walk around our beautiful grounds. Our favourite spot is the fish pond, and the weather was more than kind to us.

Cupcake Day

We celebrated Cupcake day on 13th June, and decorated our cakes to enjoy with family and friends for our afternoon tea. We had a fantastic time doing this, and there was lots of discussion going on around the table about cooking for our own families.

The Big Walk

The Big Walk was done on the grounds of Tixover House; it was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed ourselves. Everyone loved the fresh air and were keen for refreshments when we got back.

Volunteers' Week

Tixover House accommodated volunteers from Cummins Inc in Peterborough, who were given a special thank you during Volunteers' Week. They came to the home and completed work on the garden areas, including painting fences, painting the summer house for the residents, tidying all the flower beds and planting new plants to ensure that the residents had a wonderful view and could spend more time in their beautiful summer house.
