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.

Hello, my name is Caroline and I joined the team at Tixover House in 2023.
I am passionate about creating person-centred activities which ultimately enrich our residents' lives. My main aim is to bring happiness through the doorway daily; spreading smiles, laughter and love - I want to make a difference to the lives of those that we support.

Life at Tixover House Care Home
The Flowers of Youth
The ladies of Tixover spent a morning arranging flowers recently. They all love this activity and laughed and chatted to one another all morning.
Wearing Pink for Breast Cancer
Tixover wore pink for breast cancer on the 20th October, with various cakes all iced in pink. We were also joined by performers from Singing for Memory, so a good old singalong was enjoyed by all.
Balloons were release by residents and family members for loved ones lost and we managed to raise a total of £105 for charity.
20 Years of Service
We celebrated 20 years of Hairdresser, Wendy Tatum, working at Tixover House; she has been cutting and blow drying residents' hair for the past two decades. Congratulations from all at Tixover!
Barchester's 25th Anniversary
A very big shout out and well done to Marie and Tracey for a well-organised and fantastic day. Sir Laurence Howard KCVO OBE, The Lord Lieutenant of Rutland, unveiled the bench purchased by the residents for the 25th anniversary, and the 1940s theme went down well with everyone.
The Banjo Man
For the first time we had David Straker (The Banjo Man) visit the home to entertain residents. We all loved him; he interacted very well with everybody and even encouraged them to sing into the microphone. It was a great day!
Flower Power
Tixover shared a ray of colours and smells with some morning flower arranging on 13th October. Flowers were donated by Pollen Floristry in Oakham. It was a great morning and we shared all the flowers amongst residents.
