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.

Sitdance with Marcel

Marcel Baaijens travels all over the world to teach Activities Coordinators the 'sitdance' routines to help residents with mobility. Tixover House invited coordinators from the local area to join us so they can introduce the routine to their respective homes. It was a very enjoyable and interesting afternoon.

Out & About with Chater

Folks from both Tixover House and Chater Lodger enjoyed a beautiful day out to the park, with tea and ice cream as a cherry on the cake!

Cheese & Wine Evening

It was a really great turn out for our cheese and wine evening. This event was hosted to celebrate the opening of our Finehades lounge, and we welcomed wonderful guest speakers from Evergreen Care Trust.

Rutland Waters

Tixover House and Chater Lodge together took residents on a boat trip around Rutland waters. We were lucky with the weather; it was a fantastic day with lots of tea and ice cream for all, and was followed by a good old singalong on the way home.
