A beautiful home, excellent cleanliness. Thelma cannot see out of her window. Could her bed be raised? But moving room after wow. Thelma needs to be made to go downstairs &/or outside in a wheelchair to talk to others.

Mum's care since she arrived in August has been excellent. Her needs were sensitively and appropriately assessed, and the transition into care well supported by everyone involved. The team on memory lane in particular have all shown a high level of professionalism and expertise, including some very specialized skills. Mum has not been the easiest dementia resident to care for and the team have shown understanding and patience in their approach. We, as a family, really appreciate this. Mum, as far as her condition allows her to be, is very settled and comfortable.
I am not engaging with the question about value for money as it is depends on for whom. It is doubtless value for money for shareholders and at the expense of residents and staff. The role of private equity in the care system is well documented and the exploitation of residents and staff for profit is the only possible ultimate outcome when private equity is involved.
My mother is very happy & well looked after.
All of her needs are catered for.
I am always informed of any changes and adjustments to my mothers care.

I am really pleased about the quality of care my mum is receiving. The manager and her whole team go over and above to meet her specific needs. They stay in touch with me and ensure I am aware of falls, gp visits, changes in medication etc. They also pre-empted my request to sit with my mum for a little while following a recent fall when it wasn't possible for a family member to visit. This gives me reassurance and trust in the quality of care my mum needs.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. It means a lot to hear how respectful, professional and compassionate you found the staff to be at Tixover House. We'll pass your kind words on to the team, they will be thrilled. Thanks again.

My husband settled with ease , over the first few weeks , as a special effort was made by everyone, to get to know him and make sure his needs were met . The activities provided are varied and interesting with family and friends being encouraged to visit at any time . The staff engaged fully , always with a smile and happy to help in any way , especially with the smaller things , that make residents feel comfortable and cared for .
My husband enjoyed his meals , taken in an attractive , calm environment .
The garden room has beautiful views over open countryside, where we can chat as a family or play games , just like you would in your own lounge .
I think " home " is the important word . Every effort is made by the staff , to create that feeling of safety ,comfort , kindness and respect for its residents .

My aunt Kathleen moved to Tixover House in October 2025 as an NHS End of Life placement. However, he health temporarily improved and being at Tixover House made the last 4 months of her life, which meant she was safe, cared for, understood and as happy as she could be. I always felt I was kept informed of any changes in Kath's health and can't thank the caring staff who had involvement in looking after my aunt enough. Thank you so very much!

Our 90-year-old uncle moved into Tixover House initially for emergency respite care. From our first contact, the staff were welcoming, kind, and supportive. The manager kindly visited his home to assess his needs and explain the move in a reassuring manner which helped him feel comfortable and...
The standard of care was outstanding. Staff were patient, attentive, and treated my uncle with dignity and respect. The home was always spotless, meals were excellent with a choice of a 3 course meal or lighter options prepared by the chef on request. Tea/ coffee homemade cakes were readily available for residents and family. There was a great range of activities and live entertainment.
Sadly, my uncle has since passed away, but during his time at Tixover House he was cared for in a calm, friendly environment filled with kindness and compassion. Our family is extremely grateful for the care and support provided

My uncle was treated with warmth and kindness. He thought it was a hotel at first, and it really does look like a modern hotel. Managers appreciated what a big decision it was for him, and were very supportive of relatives. There were enough care staff, and they were very responsive and smiled a lot. Catering staff were kind and accommodating. He was made to feel valued and cared for, after losing his wife. He was content at Tixover House, and everyone there made his final weeks comfortable. As a relative, I found Tixover House so very welcoming, and I am very grateful to everyone there
