Agitation seems reduced at the moment. Felt previously there was not enough activities and stimulation. General care good, meals, routine etc. Daytime sleeping - boredom at times? Fresh air - more outside activities, walks to be encouraged on better days with better weather and resident's demeanour.

As a relative living in Scotland, I find the staff approachable and reassuring if I have any concerns regarding the care or wellbeing of my relative. He has generally settled in well and been well looked after and encouraged to integrate.

The lady I care for came for two weeks respite; on arrival, we were greeted and made to feel very welcome. The home is very clean and you have a great team of staff that all work very well together. Care is delivered to a high standard. I saw members of staff helping out in all areas when needed. Thanks
to all the staff for what you do. I will recommend this home to people.

My Auntie moved into Tixover House some months ago. She always looks well cared for and the staff are always kind and welcoming. The home has a homely feel and always looks clean and tidy, even though it is an older home. I am very grateful for the wonderful care and kindness my Auntie receives.

Been very impressed with Tixover House care home from our visit at open day and now more so after my father became a resident. My father has been very unsettled due to his ill health and has settled into life at the care home extremely well.

My mother entered Tixover grange at the beginning of April and has been given wonderful care. The setting is fabulous with well-kept grounds. There is a lovely atmosphere about the place, which is always the same whenever I visit, which is a different time on most days. I leave my mother at Tixover
Grange with confidence that she is in good hands, all her needs are met.

My mother is a resident at Tixover House. 3rd March was her birthday, a birthday tea and cake was laid on, we had a lovely time and mum was laughing and smiling - she really enjoyed it and so did we. They treat her so well, they love her. She has settled in and is happy living at Tixover House. She
is happy and well cared for and loves the visits and activities and interacts well with the staff.

Staff at all levels are friendly and helpful. Cannot speak for night shift as usually, I am not present. Carers are always patient and helpful with my mother. Good relations generally between sponsors and care home managers and carers. Entertainment and activities are frequent and varied and a warm,
comfortable and relaxed environment is maintained where possible.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Due to the progression of her illness mum moved to Tixover House in late 2016.
Although she was restless during her first few weeks, lots of care and attention from staff helped her settle in. There have been odd days when she wants to leave but this isn't possible as she needs round the clock care
and supervision.
Standards at Tixover House have improved since the arrival of a new general manager last summer.
Mum lives in a great place, always warm, safe and with excellent staff. My only disappointment is the room she occupies. It was the only one available when she moved in and it doesn't have any en suite facilities.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Two or three years ago five of us used to sing old songs once a month here and get the residents to join in. Four of us have restarted the singing because a very old friend of mine is now a resident. He knows all the old favourites and used to lead the singing after we had played rugger.
I, therefore,
recognise one or two of the staff and one or two residents and recommend the home to my friend's children.
Four of us have just started the formal singing again with a positive response from the staff and even some of the residents our singing visits are monthly and my own visits weekly. The staff are friendly and seem caring and kind and I admire what they do

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.744)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.744) out of 10 for Barchester Tixover House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.744 for Barchester Tixover House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (412 Excellents x 5) + (121 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 542 Ratings = 4.744
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Tixover House Care Home is based on 46 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 46 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
