My Dad has been living in Tixover for about 8 months and he is very settled, happy, and safe. The care he receives in this lovely environment is great. It gives my brother great comfort every time we see him.

I had been looking after my husband for the last 2 years. He had mobility problems and memory loss. Recently he was diagnosed with vascular dementia. He had begun to fall so needed 24-hour care. One morning after a sleepless night I realised I could not cope. My plan was a break for me. The manager at Tixover House came to assess him and he went in that day. The staff were wonderful and always made him smile, even up to his final days.

My husband has been a resident for only one full month but our friends and family all say how much happier and well he looks and behaves. I would not hesitate to pass on these thoughts to anyone needing care. Very pleased with the 'home ' from home.

From my first visit, to see if Barchester Tixover House Care Home was suitable for Mum, I was impressed. Apart from the luxurious "home from home" furnishings, it was the staff who impressed me. I'm greeted by name when I visit which is impressive but more importantly, find that my mum is clean, well looked after and her needs are met. I never wanted to have to put my mum in a home - it's heartbreaking but feel I have found the right one.

The care home provided exceptional support for my mother with Lewy body dementia. The staff were compassionate, understanding and provided personalised care, ensuring her comfort and well-being. They supported her appropriately for three and half years, during this time, her health deteriorated and they adjusted her care accordingly. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your awarding comments and we are truly proud of our team and will endeavour to continue to do the best for our residents. I will share this with our team.
I am perfectly happy with the care my mother is receiving. Having fallen out of bed, the home has now installed a motion sensor as well as the pressure sensor which seems to have sorted the problem.

This is only the second time I have visited the home to visit my friend. We were made very welcome by the staff. The atmosphere of the home is peaceful and friendly. Home from home. Refreshments which were excellent provided as well.

I have lived in one of the assisted living bungalows at Tixover Grange for 10 and a half years. During this time I have had a very good relationship with the care home, where I have been made welcome at events, also helping when I could with the residents: baking, card making and chatting with them. You always get a friendly reception and a cuppa with biscuits or cake!

A faultless experience from start to finish, my mother had a week of respite here. Her first time. The appraisal at home was fantastic and I left Mum with absolutely no qualms. I had been wary of embarking on this journey but I was reassured at every stage and Mum left the care home saying she had had a lovely stay and she thought it had done her good. Thank you to everyone involved. You are brilliant.

My dad has been a resident since Dec 2022, his needs have changed since he moved into Tixover. The management and team have supported us all and explained perfectly the additional care our dad needs.

Our dear friend came to Tixover House straight from the hospital for his final months. Being completely aware, our friend was able to acknowledge and appreciate the kindness and care shown to him. He often stated how safe and comfortable he felt and could not be anywhere better. From our point of view visiting Tixover numerous times, its genuine, welcoming, professional, understanding, experienced staff and management are outstanding in the care, welfare and happiness of a loved one. It is the quality of staff and leadership that makes success.

Hello. My name is Tony, and I am the Head Chef here at Tixover House. I have a huge passion for food and believe that meal times are a vital part of our residents’ day. It’s something they look forward to and I'm happy to tailor dishes and menus to meet their wishes.
One of the regular favourites is the homemade Devonshire scones served during afternoon Cream Tea, with fresh cream and strawberry jam, alongside finger sandwiches.
I love spending time with our residents and guests of the home, chatting through their likes and dislikes, and nutritional and hydration needs so I can adapt menus to suit everyone.
