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
Open Day
We had a great open day and were joined by family and friends, with the singing talents of Jeremy to keep us all entertained. There was also a yummy chocolate fountain donated on the day by Activities Coordinator, Marie. We danced sang, and had a beautiful tea party in honour of Her Majesty's birthday.
Fun in the Sun
On this beautiful day, all the residents came out to the summer house, where we ate cake and drank tea and juice, watched the lambs and played eye spy. Everyone commented on what an enjoyable day it was!
The Great Outdoors
We enjoyed the great outdoors with a refreshing walk around the grounds whilst the weather was mild. There were lots of smiles along the way as people checked out all the spring flowers and lambs in the fields. Afterwards, we all went for a much-needed cuppa.
Puzzled People
Residents of Tixover had a lot of fun trying to solve some puzzles whilst listening to music and having a good ol' sing along.
Furry Friends
We were joined by some very special, four-legged friends from the local farm at Tixover, who came to see us and loved being made a fuss of by the residents.
Baking Fun
We baked some ginger cupcakes ready for tea at 3:00 p.m. and decorated them with butter icing. The ladies did a fantastic job and we all enjoyed tasting them.
