Activities at Four Hills Care Home
Our activity and lifestyle programme is arranged for all our residents to participate in and is updated regularly based on ideas from our residents group during our resident forum. Our Resident of the Day strategy ensures each person receives at least one day each month where the focus is all about them.
We have a monthly concert and to date this is appreciated and enjoyed by most residents. The Four Hills Taverns is open for business every Friday afternoon and is an area where residents and staff socialise, hold pub quizzes and partake in a little refreshment.
The team at Four Hills try hard to meet everyone's needs and encourage all residents and their families to join in the fun.

Life at Four Hills Care Home
The Wallace Collection
Residents across our services had a lovely time joining Emily and Marie-Therese from the Wallace Collection, for a virtual introduction to Reubens' Rainbow Landscape.
Residents truly enjoyed the sensory walk through one of the museum’s most famous landscape paintings.
Everyone who joined had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to put their creative skills to the test by painting some landscapes of our their in the coming days!
A Visit to Dobbies Garden Centre
The ladies of Four Hills enjoyed a lovely day out at one of our favourite places to visit Dobbies Garden Centre, we loved seeing all the Halloween decorations and picked up some for the home for our Halloween party, we also loved seeing all the Christmas trees going up.
No trip to the garden centre is complete without a visit to the café for afternoon tea were we spent time chatting about our most magical Christmas memories. The ladies said it had been a wonderful day and a great treat for them all.
Celebrating the Hindu festival of Navratri
Residents and staff had a great day together celebrating the Hindu festival of Navratri, here at Four Hills we believe in celebrating all cultures, staff dressed up in traditional costumes and provided traditional foods for residents to try, the room was all decorated in bright colours with traditional music playing, the residents were very impressed by the staff dancing abilities as they showed us there traditional dances.
Rose said "it was fantastic and a great way to learn about different cultures that she didn’t know much about before today".
Knit and Natter
Residents are loving our new group activity session a weekly - Knit & Natter group – which is proving very popular! Residents have been teaching each other different stitches and sharing patterns with each other and these sessions have led to some great reminiscing too as residents have shared their stories of past knitting creations, about how lots of clothes in their day were all hand-made.
It’s been great to see residents and staff joining together sharing pearls of wisdom.
Virtual afternoon at the theatre
Residents across our services had a fantastic time enjoying the virtual screening of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Frank Spencer’s comical misadventures had everyone laughing and it was wonderful to see so many happy faces.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and a special thanks to The Barn Theatre in the Cotswolds for bringing this stage adaptation of the beloved sitcom to our screens.
Alpacas - Charlie and Chico.
Residents, staff and visitors were delighted to welcome two special guest into the home in the form of two beautiful Alpacas - Charlie and Chico.
They spent the day in our home going around all of our lounges and bedrooms visiting residents and visitors. Residents were very impressed by how well behaved and gentle they were around everyone.
