Activities at Tixover House Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.

Life at Tixover House Care Home
Eyes down for bingo bonzana
Across the country our homes and hospitals came together to find out which care home or hospital had the best Bingo players as we teamed up for Barchester’s Bingo Bonanza.
Residents were treated to some exciting virtual games of Bingo as part of Barchester’ very own game show series.
Everyone who participate had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.
Floral Masterclass
Across our homes we had a fantastic time joining, Kathryn Delve, Master Florist, for a Valentine’s-inspired live virtual flower arranging demonstration. Kathryn shared brilliant and creative ways to decorate our tables with beautiful flowers that are sure to make your heart swoon!
Those participating in this virtual event put their skills to the test and followed along with some amazing creations of their own. Residents truly enjoyed the experience.
Afternoon Tea
We were delighted to welcome back the wonderful Melanie from 'Finding Friends'
Finding Friends is a local companionship group, operating in the heart of the Tixover Community.
Melanie joined our residents and relatives for afternoon tea.
Everyone had a fabulous time as they tucked into the variety of cakes over and were even treated to a wonderful musical rendition by one of our residents, who wowed the audience in attendance.
Ladies Who Lunch
Every Thursday we take a trip out in our minibus and engage our residents within the local community,
