There is a lack of staff - often acute at weekends - which is worrying. However, the staff are very helpful and committed.

Our father was a resident at Tixover care home for 2 1/2 years, and during that time he has had excellent care and support. The staff from all areas in the home are caring, cheerful and have been very professional in his care. We have now recently lost our Dad and the manager and all staff were so kind to us as a family. I would recommend Tixover House without hesitation for your loved ones.
My father has pretty much settled in at Tixover after several months wanting to leave. Staff and care very good overall. His care needs well met and I would recommend this care home.

A lovely friendly caring staff from management down to cleaners. Generous sized rooms. The Happy environment in lovely surroundings. Super food with good choices. Time is given to residents. My mother was treated with dignity and respect in her last days. We are only too sorry she was too ill to appreciate all the home could offer her.

The caring staff were excellent: efficient yet humane, treating the residents as people, not objects, with dignity, putting up with bursts of temper without complaint, and although busy, finding the time for a chat with kindness. The same can be said for the other staff: housekeeping, maintenance, social. All go beyond their duties to be helpful, friendly and kind. There are some real stars and no duds.
Tixover House was incredibly helpful and flexible in accommodating my father at very short notice. He has been very happy here, and well looked after. Thank you.

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.

Hello, my name is Caroline and I am passionate about creating person-centered activities which ultimately enrich our residents' lives.
