TIXOVER CARE HOME ELF THEMSELVES TO RAISE MONEY FOR ALZHEIMERS

Staff at Tixover House Care Home in Rutland swapped their uniforms for costumes on National Elf Day (Wednesday December 3rd) in an effort to raise funds to help people living with dementia.

Launched by the Alzheimer’s Society and delivered direct from the North Pole, Elf Day was created to sprinkle some festive cheer on fundraising towards finding a cure for dementia. From stripy socks to head-to-toe elf outfits, anything goes – there’s snow better way to raise money to help beat dementia.

On the day, residents and staff at Tixover House Care Home were able to enjoy elf-themed games including a Christmas quiz and elf-bingo paired with a festive-themed spread as the team at the home donned their elfish apparel.

Peter Hankins a resident of the home said: “It is always a very festive day and the staff always make us laugh in their costumes. What a wonderful way to raise money for charity!”

Ive Alexander General Manager at Tixover House Care Home and head elf, said: “Elf Day at Tixover House is always a lot of fun and we are home to some of the most unusual elves I have ever seen! We know first-hand that many people, including a good number of our residents, are living with some form of Alzheimer’s. That’s why raising money to support dementia charities is dear to our hearts and we’re always so keen to get involved. We’re proud that the money we’ve raised will go towards such a good cause.”

“For anyone that has any questions about caring for those with Alzheimer’s, do please give us a call and we’ll do all we can to help.”

Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
