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.

A Special Gift
General Manager, Wendy Kaya, visited Sir Edward Burrows, Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Rutland and presented him with a special bottle of port as a thanks for visiting Tixover and spending time with the residents. He said he is looking forward to his next visit and hopes to attend our Dementia Care Voice event on the 21st March.
Snow Day
Staff, relatives and residents enjoyed a day of team building with the General Manager, Wendy Kaya, thanks to the bad weather.
Wendy, Hostess, Karina Elliott Black, and Activities Coordinator, Marie McIntyre, have camped out at the home since Wednesday to ensure that we had enough support during this particular bad spell. Some staff have also stayed overnight to ensure they could make it to work.
Wendy has said that the home has ran without any issues during this time; residents have enjoyed so many staff being here in the evenings and entertaining them. The staff have gone above and beyond and worked together as a team.
One our staff members even got driven to work in a tractor by her dad.
Well done to everyone at Tixover!
