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
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.

Life at Tixover House Care Home
Relaxation and Pampering
At Tixover House we help residents to feel good, and a little pampering can do that. Activities Coordinator, Mariana, provides hand massages, manicures and nail polishes to the ladies, as well as a nice chat with the radio on in the background. Our gents often like a manicure, too, so their nails look well trimmed.
Church Service
At Tixover House, we have Tixover Church coming in every first Monday of the month to carry out a church service.
100 Hours Outside
At Tixover, we are taking part in the '100 Hours Outside' challenge. We have until the 24th December to complete this challenge. At Tixover, we’re very lucky to have such lovely grounds to walk around.
Musical Magic
Singers Lesley Ann Parker and Katie Rose Parker entertained the staff and residents with songs that brought back memories for everyone.

We have collected £46 for the Brain Tumour Research charity from our staff raffle on Wear A Hat With Flowers Day. Many of our carers have seen the devastating effects of this terrible condition in family friends and residents.
