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
Intergenerational fun
Residents of Four Hills have been delighted to welcome the children from High Park Primary every Friday morning for arts & crafts sessions, every week we have been working on different projects from card making to decorating candle holders and making flower pom poms from wool, the residents have loved getting to know the children, their hobbies and interest and sharing stories about their lives and their favourite subjects at school, there has been lots of fun and laughter and we are really looking forward to our future projects with them after their summer holidays.
Residents take to the water
The residents of Four Hills were off on another adventure this time we were treated to a tour of our local canal thanks to our friends at the Seagull Trust, we were especially delighted to get up close to the family of swans living on the banks of the water, we even saw a few paddle boarders on the water which was a great delight, we enjoyed a lovely picnic on board prepared by our wonderful chef containing all our favourite snacks.
Bill was always a keen traveller who had not been on a boat for a long time and thought this was something he would never be able to do again, so it was great to see all the smiles on his face on the day as he shared some stories with the boats captain and crew about some of the places he had visited, Bill said it was one of his best days for a long time.
High top thrills at the circus
What a fabulous evening in the sunshine the residents of Four Hills had attending the world famous Zippos Circus, residents were mesmerised by the performances of acrobats, tumblers, tight rope walkers and trapeze artists, we laughed so hard and even had to hide our eyes at some points with all the wonderful stunts.
It truly was a remarkable show. After the show we all enjoyed a wonderful fish tea together as we chatted about our favourite parts of the show. Since being back the ladies have been sharing their adventure with other residents who are now also keen to visit.
Into the deep....
Residents across our services enjoyed a fantastic virtual tour of The Deep, an award-winning aquarium in Hull.
Our residents dived into the underwater world of some fascinating creatures such as sharks, turtles and stingrays.
It was a truly immersive and educational experience that brought the wonders of the ocean right to our screens.
Football drills with Ben
Residents at Four Hills were delighted to welcome Ben from United Sports for an afternoon of football drills and exercises. Ben will be joining us on a fortnightly basis for a variety of exercise classes and football drills.
Residents said they felt great afterwards even if their legs were a little sore from all the movement. After Ben’s visit residents all sat down together and reminisced about their favourite sporting hobbies with some great conversations.
Day trip to Largs
Following on from our monthly residents meeting some residents had asked for a day out to the sea-side so now the sun is with us we packed up our things and headed for a day trip to Largs.
What a fantastic day it turned out to be as we strolled along the beach, ate fish and chips by the waterside and tucked into our ice-creams and we listened to the musical performers by the beach front.
It was an extra special day from our resident James as his wife May joined us on the trip.
