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.

Messy Monday Marble Art

Today we attempted some marble foam art which was very relaxing to touch, and such fun to create, not so much art more about creating mess!

Trip to the seaside

Today we joined Chater Lodge Care Home - Barchester Healthcare for lunch with fish and chips on the Hunstanton beachfront! Our residents loved it, and had a giggle when we stopped for coffee at McDonalds... the free balloons went down well!

What a lovely day we had 'beside the seaside... beside the sea'
