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
A visit from Stamford School
The residents of Tixover spent an afternoon pebble painting with the help of the boys from Stamford School. They also both enjoyed the chatting, with laughter coming from both residents and the Stamford boys, a lovely afternoon!
This was then followed by afternoon tea which the boys loved! They have already asked if they can come and show of some artistry skills to our residents.
Harvest Festival
Our Harvest Festival celebration was held on the Monday 2nd October, after holy communion with the Padre who blessed the food and the home.
The staff from Evergreen also attended to receive the offering of the food donated by loved ones and staff member.
Evergreen Care Trust seeks to promote healthy attitudes towards growing older and to find appropriate ways to honour and support members of the community in times of need and vulnerability.
Tixover House are now in partnership with the charity!
Tixover's Got Talent

Macmillan Coffee Morning

We raised approximately £150 for this great cause; well done to all staff, residents and loved ones for all the support given, and for joining in with the balloon games.
