Dad moved here at the end of last year. He was reluctantly agreeing he needed more care, but has now settled in well. His pictures are on the wall of his room, books in place & TV, so he has all he needs.

We are finding Tixover House Care Home an ideal place for my aunt. She is being looked after very well, clean, looking tidy, her room is always looked after, and her laundry done and put away. The staff pop in and ask if she's comfortable and we love that we can make ourselves a cup of tea and help
ourselves to a scone or cake.
The management and staff are all very approachable and helpful. Everything is done with a smile.

Excellent care provided with absolute detail. My mother has dementia and is always unsettled with strangers. However, the professionalism, empathy, experience and understanding of the staff made Mum feel very settled. Not once did they have to contact me for help. Very friendly place located in a beautiful,
rural surrounding. I feel so comfortable that it was almost like an extension of our home.

My experience at Barchester Tixover House Care Home. I visited my friend, got a warm welcome at the front door. I was given a nice cup of coffee and a piece of cake and the staff were very polite and made me feel welcome. Read the newspaper to my friend and had a lovely afternoon.

My sister was a resident at Barchester Tixover Care Home for 6 years before she passed away in July and lived in both residential and Memory Lane. Her care under the manager, and her team of nurses and carers was exceptional. The home is set in beautiful grounds overlooking fields with sheep making
it a lovely area for walking/sitting and a peaceful atmosphere. There is also good parking and easy access. Unlike many care homes I looked at, Memory Lane is full of colour, activities, sensory aids and positivity from the carers. Great attention is paid to assessing and supplying what is best for each individual resident, whether they are in residential or Memory Lane. There is genuine care, compassion and respect by both carers and nursing staff. I was kept up to date with any changes or requirements by excellent communication from the home and always felt 100% confident my sister was in the best hands. It is definitely a home where you know your loved one comes first.

Mum's care at Barchester Tixover House Care Home is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble and she is happy and comfortable. Every aspect of her care is considered and she is always free to make her own choices. Mum is treated with dignity at all times.
When visiting Mum, all staff are polite

We can't thank you enough for all you do for our mum.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.694)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.694) out of 10 for Barchester Tixover House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.694 for Barchester Tixover House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (357 Excellents x 5) + (138 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 503 Ratings = 4.694

  • b) 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 43 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 43 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
