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.

90th Birthday Celebrations

Anna recently turned 90, so we hosted a birthday celebration with her loved ones, staff members and fellow residents. Head Chef, Susan, made this beautiful cake and everyone joined in to sing 'Happy Birthday' to our special lady.

Seated Exercise

We invited Chloe from Sit Dance Company to come and help out residents with some seated exercise. Everyone loved her and her choice of music. There was lots of toe tapping and, with the use of some apparatus, we were shaking all over. All residents involved loved the session and can't wait to do it again.

Easter Celebrations

We celebrated Easter with family and friends here at Tixover. Staff had an egg and spoon race, which was won by Rosie. We also had an Easter bonnet parade, followed by an Easter egg hunt that residents thoroughly enjoyed. Our day was rounded off by a seasonal arts & crafts session.

Gardening at Tixover

Margaret is showing our Head of Maintenance, Richard, how to plant the flowers that we started growing in the home.

Margaret is going to support Richard in creating a nice little garden area at the side of the dining room that can be enjoyed by all the residents and visitors
