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.

Home celebrates French Language Day
Residents at Four Hills in Glasgow have been practicing their Entente Cordiale for French Language Day which took place on March 20th.
Residents took part in French-themed activities throughout the day including an afternoon of delicious wine and cheese while we listened to some French music, with the highlight of the day being our French lesson from the lovely people at Lingo Flamingo, our residents are taking part in a 10 week French course, some learning a totally new skill, others brushing up on what we remember from school.
Eleanor Wilson, General Manager at Four Hills said: “We’ve all had une journée formidable learning all about the French language. It was so interesting to learn how much cross-over there is between the two languages, we all knew far more than we thought we did and our residents remembered so much from their French classes at school – amazing how these things stay with you!”
Historic Royal Palaces
Across our services, our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session. Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!
We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets. A lovely time was had by all.
Virtual Book Club
Across our services we had a lovely time joining Mark Piesing for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘N-4 Down: The Hunt for The Arctic Airship Italia’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fascinating story of the world-famous exploring airship Italia, returning from the North Pole on May 24, 1928. The airship was struck by a terrible storm and crashed somewhere over the Arctic ice, triggering the largest polar rescue mission in history.
The virtual book club experience was truly enjoyed by all.
A Trip to the Theatre
It was a magical evening for Marion and George as we enjoyed a trip to the theatre to see the Bertie Auld Story at the Pavillion. It was an evening of laughter and singing and also a few tears. It was extra special for Marion as the show was based on her brother Bertie’s life at Celtic.
Valentine's Day at Four Hills
Love was in the air at Four Hills as residents enjoyed an afternoon tea party where they exchanged their favourite valentine’s poems with each other. There was some great laughs along the way as they let their imagination run wild.
