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.

We celebrated all that is British during our June open day. There was entertainment from Brian Maunders, a raffle, and we celebrated Cupcake Day in an effort to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society. Everyone had a fantastic day and there were smiles all round.
Oakham Fire Station
We had a fantastic trip out to Oakham Fire Station. Everyone was in good spirits and we all enjoyed refreshments with the firemen and women.
Oakham Museum
On this beautiful day, we took a trip out with some of the residents to Oakham Museum. Everyone commented on how big it was inside and loved looking at all the exhibits. The museum staff were on hand to assist us and we had a few refreshments in the garden before heading back to Tixover.
