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.

Life at Tixover House Care Home
Pumpkin Artworks
Getting creative with some Autumnal themed mosaic art.
And Relax...
Our 'Namaste' sessions look to promote wellbeing through imagination, sights and sounds.
Today our residents pictured themselves walking through the forest, closing their eyes and using their sense of smell, touch and listening to mood music, whilst Nicola, our activities coordinator read softly to them.
As you can see, two of our lovely ladies definitely found the whole experience extremely relaxing.
Beryl's Art Exhibition
The Tixover team decided to surprise our resident artist 'Beryl Smyth' by creating a gallery wall dedicated to showcasing her talent in the lower dining area where she sits most days, happily drawing away.
These 'still' live and cafe images are just the start of her exhibition. As you wonder through the home you will notice several hallways adorning her pieces; from seaside paintings to landscapes. We are very privileged to have so many on display.
We, and she look forward to you seeing all her amazing artworks when you visit on our open day; Saturday 15th October 2022.
Oundle School Games Afternoon
It's so wonderful to have a weekly visit from the students of Oundle School. These young gentlemen are such a pleasure.
