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.

The staff from Evergreen also attended to receive the offering of the food donated by loved ones and staff member.

Evergreen Care Trust seeks to promote healthy attitudes towards growing older and to find appropriate ways to honour and support members of the community in times of need and vulnerability.

Tixover's Got Talent

On Friday 29th September, we were joined by Gavin Burke, a local singer, loved by all residents because of his beautiful voice. He sang classic songs, as well as contemporary ones, and had both residents and staff toe-tapping to all his tunes.

Macmillan Coffee Morning

Residents and staff members enjoyed a wonderful morning indulging in coffee and cakes.

We raised approximately £150 for this great cause; well done to all staff, residents and loved ones for all the support given, and for joining in with the balloon games.

It truly was a fantastic day!

Coffee Morning Preparations

Party Amimals

On 12th September, residents, loved ones and staff members had a lovely afternoon spending time with some beautiful animals that had been brought into the home.
