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
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.
Gertude said “it was fabulous experience and she thoroughly enjoyed petting them, she was very impressed at how soft their beautiful coat was”.
Pet therapy with a trip to the stables
We love our animal therapy here at Four Hills and residents really love their monthly visits to The local Riding for Disabled Stables, where we get to meet and groom all their lovely horses.
Betty had been reluctant about going as she said she was a bit scared of the horses so wouldn’t want to touch them but she would like to see them, It turns out Betty was not afraid at all as soon as we got there and she seen the beauty of the horses she couldn.t help but want to stroke and groom them, spending lots of time with every horse. Upon getting back to the home Betty said it was a great experience and she now had nothing to be fearful off.
Residents enjoy canal boat trip
Residents at Four Hills absolutely loved basking in the glorious sunshine on one of our three canal boat trips during September.
We set of early in the morning with our packed lunches in hand to soak in the beautiful scenery and wildlife on our local canal as we sat on the deck thanks to our friends at the Seagull Trust.
We saw some beautiful young heron birds on the banks, there were lots of ducks and swans and we even stopped to chat to a few fisherman on the way overall we have had 3 glorious days to enjoy
Cornish Seal Sanctuary
A big thank you to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for the fantastic live virtual event today!
Residents across our services loved seeing the seals up close and learning about the incredible work the sanctuary does to protect them and other wildlife in Cornwall as well.
Everyone truly enjoyed the experience.
World Photo Day
Residents at Four Hills loved taking part in World Photo Day, lots of them brought along albums, family photos and were keen to share their stories with each other about where they were taken and what they were doing at the time, some residents were out in the gardens using cameras to take their own photos of the flowers, plants and trees and some of each other, we are hoping to get enough together to start our own gallery.
