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.

Employee of the Month - February
Congratulations to Steve White, who was named as Tixover's Employee of the Month for February. He recently went above and beyond his normal duties to ensure that the home and residents had warmth, as the whole heating system has failed. He did a 19 hour shift to see that the generator was put into place to provide power to 45 radiators. He is a superstar and everyone voted for him!
