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.

Life at Tixover House Care Home
100th Birthday Celebrations
We celebrated Vera's 100th birthday on 9th February.
Vera started by having lunch with her family. We then had the fabulous Gavin James Burke singing and getting everyone up to dance. At 3:00 p.m., we had Mike Grant, the Director of the Rutland Chapter, and 11 Harley Davidsons and their riders join us to give Vera her birthday wish, which was to see a Harley. They stayed and enjoyed Vera’s beautiful birthday cake. Afterwards, Lord Lieutenant Edward Burrows arrived and presented Vera with her card from the Queen.
It truly was a fabulous day, one that Vera said she will never forget
Pancake Day
All residents and carers had a go at tossing the pancake, with a lot of giggles along the way, but the best part was the tasting.
Baking at Tixover
We put our baking skills into action recently and made some wonderful creations!
Early Morning Dance
We had an early morning dance to set us up for the day, with some of the staff shaking their stuff with a smile.
The Magic Table
The Magic Table were invited to demonstrate their fantastic machine to residents, loved ones and staff members. It was fascinating and great fun, providing a vivid and positive experience for all.
Open Day
We hosted an open day on Saturday 27th January and everyone really enjoyed it. We had a clothing sale and residents made marshmallow lollipops dipped in chocolate. We also held a raffle and raised over £107 for the activities fund.
