Activities at Tixover House Care Home

We celebrated 4th of July in true American Style. Our home was decorated with themed flags as we hosted an American themed BBQ to mark the special occasion.

We enjoyed listening to some of the all-time favourite American hits, as we gathered together for classic hot dogs, burgers & macaroni cheese, followed by some refreshing beverages.

Tixover House celebrated a special anniversary of the NHS as they celebrated their 75th anniversary.

Residents, their relatives and colleagues all got involved with the spirit of this monumental anniversary as our colleagues visited our local NHS heroes at the Stamford and Rutland General Hospital, whilst back at the home we welcomed entertainer David Cox for a themed afternoon of musical entertainment.

This June, staff and residents at the Tixover have been creating decorations, festooning their home with rainbows and enjoying the colourful celebrations from around the world. 

Lots of the festivities from different parts of the UK and from around the world are available to watch online and residents have had a fantastic time experiencing the different parades and carnivals on offer.

Celebrations have been in full swing at Tixover House, as one of its residents reaches her 102nd year in style.

Beryl was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents as she celebrated her very special day. A champagne reception was held at the home and guests enjoyed a special birthday cake made by Anthony the home’s chef as beryl and her friends enjoyed a wonderful performance by Rebecca Barnes on her harp.

The birthday girl said: “the secret to a good long life is having a sense of humour and a glass of gin!”

Residents, friends and family have had a lovely afternoon in our beautiful gardens.

Our residents enjoyed a refreshing glass of Buck’s Fizz whilst reminiscing and laughing together about summers gone by.

It was a wonderful day with lots of sunshine and smiles all round!

Battle lines were drawn at the Tixover House Care Home in Ketton where super-competitive residents were keen to get involved in an evening of Chess themed fun.

Staff and residents at the Tixover House Care Home decided to warmly invite the local chess club from Stamford for an evening of chess and refreshments.  Both staff and residents enjoy a game of Chess and they love to plan their next moves.  It is such a skilful game, it is as interesting to watch as it is to play.

Caroline and Nicola the Activities Co-ordinator’s at the home commented: “Lots of our residents love to play Chess, we regularly have a game on the go and some games last for hours.  Not generally the ones where I am involved, I am nowhere near as talented as the residents!”
