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.

Therapy Afternoon

Our residents enjoy a 'therapy afternoon'. Getting to know our interactive pets and caring for the therapy dolls. Taking time to reminisce with our staff, and having fun with a sensory bubbly hand massage - All of which help to promote rest and relaxation.

Busy Saturday Morning

Dancing, target practice and reminiscing this morning. Lots going on and we are learning plenty about each other. Even the home cat joined us for story time!

Oomph - Learning a bit of Spanish

Today we had Spanish music and movement with Oomph on demand! It was all maracas and sombrero's whilst we watched and learnt different phases to try on one another.

Summer Fete Fun

What a fantastic turn out we had today! Everyone at Tixover House would like to thank all our guests for coming out to join in the fun and celebrate such a lovely place to live at our Summer Fete.

With wonderful music, food and stalls we had plenty to keep us all busy! The weather stayed fine and it was smiles all round.

National Potato Day

We thoroughly enjoyed some painting today on Memory Lane! It only got slightly messy!

Summer Crafts and Scrapbooking

We have been scrapbooking, with today's theme being all about farming. Our residents enjoyed doing this activity so much we are going to continue making scrapbooks as it helps with reminiscence and gets everyone talking about previous hobbies and passions.

In the afternoon we enjoyed a round of balloon tennis and crafting before Film Club with ice-lollies and popcorn.
