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
Silver Sunday Celebrations
We watched films from the age of the Silver Screen, had fun with a pop up 50s picture frame and enjoyed some decadent food with a glass of fizz included! Our residents thought the coke floats perfect as they played your card right and listened to music from the 50s on the juke box.
Classic Car Visit
Tixover residents; Margaret, Renira and Heather were super excited to see this beautiful classic car on the driveway of Tixover House when local car enthusiast 'David' pulled up to give our residents a surprise visit. It's a 1934 Morris 8 and what a beauty it is!
Our ladies absolutely loved having a good look around the car it as David gave them a full history of the vehicle.
World Alzheimer’s Day
Today we celebrated World Alzheimer’s Day with the local community. This is very close to our heart and home, we had some wonderful entertainment, dancing and all dressed in purple for the occasion!
At Barchester, we have been supporting families with pioneering dementia care in specially-designed, dementia-friendly Memory Lane communities since 1992. We strongly believe people living with dementia should enjoy a fulfilled and happy life, with specialist support to continue doing the things they love every day.
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.
