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

Activities Coordinator

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.

Royal Wedding Celebrations

We celebrated the royal wedding with a good ol' British tea party and followed the TC coverage of the big day, where everyone agreed that the couple look fantastic.

Tixover's Got Talent

Singing and dancing was the name of the game, and staff and residents were in fine form (move over X Factor, here we come). There were lots of laughs and fun and games, like carpet skittles and even knitting.

International Nurses' Day

We celebrated International Nurses' Day to recognise all the wonderful work that our Nurses do here day and night. They were presented with a certificate and flowers, in addition to a special water bottle that reminds them to stay hydrated during their shifts.

Out & About

Rosalyn had a special day out with her family, and with help from Jess, she had a mini makeover before leaving,

Armchair Travel

Alan from Armchair Travel put on a presentation for us, and the topic was '1954'. We looked at videos from that era and listened to songs; we all found it very interesting and most could remember artists and celebrities from the period, and the news bulletins were also a great discussion point.

The Flowers of Youth

Whilst other residents were busy planting some lovely spring flowers outside the home, Eileen has been creating some beautiful indoor displays with beautiful yellow flowers.
