Activities at Tixover House Care Home

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time exploring the Eden Project virtually - an educational charity and visitor attraction based in Cornwall, featuring sprawling outdoor gardens and breathtaking biomes that house the largest indoor rainforest in the world.

During the session, residents who joined were reconnected with nature through their senses, memories and stories.  A big thank you to the community team at the Eden Project for the wonderful event.

Residents across our services enjoyed a fantastic virtual tour of The Deep, an award-winning aquarium in Hull.

Our residents dived into the underwater world of some fascinating creatures such as sharks, turtles and stingrays.

It was a truly immersive and educational experience that brought the wonders of the ocean right to our screens.

Paul, a resident of Tixover House in Rutland, has been a life-long season ticket holder of the Foxes, having been to over 1500 games both in the UK and overseas, was given a day to remember as a VIP guest at Leicester City Football Club. From Leicester originally, Paul has lived in the Stamford area for many years and is very well known locally for his love of football and most specifically his love of LCFC.

The team at Tixover House knew how important this day visiting LCFC was going to be for Paul and his family, so thought they would make it even more memorable. They arranged for Paul to go down the tunnel to pitch side for the team warm up, meet with past and present players and to have a signed shirt presented by none other than Jamie Vardy. Leicester City FC really pulled out all the stops, Paul even got to meet with the club’s manager, Enzo Maresca.

Whilst visiting popular destination the – Birchtree Café – as part of our Dementia Action week outing, Residents met with Rutland and Stamford sound, the local radio station where presenter, Rob Parsani spoke to a member of the Tixover care team and we are excited to listen to the article live on the radio.

Residents across our services had a wonderful time joining Cadbury for an interactive virtual talk on their fascinating 200-year history.

Residents joining learnt interesting facts about the chocolate giant, shared memories, and reminisced about their favourite sweet treats.

It was a heartwarming experience filled with laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of chocolatey goodness!

Residents across our homes and hospitals had a fantastic time with vocal coach Dan Cooper from Biiah as he led an amazing sing-a-long session for residents to enjoy.

Residents who joined the event were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘I Can See Clearly Now’ by Jimmy Cliff and ‘Here Comes the Sun’ by The Beatles.

Across our homes there were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.
