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.

Supporting in the local community

We had the pleasure of visiting and presenting RE-Tune SCIO with a cheque for £1000 to help towards a new CNC wood carving machine.

It was great to visit David and the team to see the workshop in action and see first hand the fabulous things they create! A special thanks for our lovely Barchester board you kindly made for us.

RE-Tune SCIO was set up to teach fine woodworking within the stringed instrument construction and repair. The core element to this is to allow participants 'Time and Purpose' in an activity.

The grant had been awarded by Barchester’s Charitable Foundation, a charity that helps older people and adults with a disability or mental health problems across England, Scotland and Wales by offering grants to help people connect or re-connect with others in their local community.

Gardening Club at Four Hills

We had a great time catching the last of the good weather, out tidying the garden and planters, we also did some sanding of the benches as we prepare them for painting next week.

Gardening is a therapeutic activity, that helps with relaxation and co ordination, we have a whole winter time garden revamp in mind, residents are excited about helping then reaping the benefits of an even more blooming garden next summer.

Means Kirk Helping Hands

Four Hills were delighted to recently present Means Kirk Helping Hands with a cheque for £600 to help towards the running of their friendship club.

Means Kirk Helping Hands are committed to providing a range of high quality services and activities to improve health and wellbeing, reduce social isolation and loneliness and promote community led support for those living locally who will most benefit.

It was great to welcome Vicky to the home to find out more about Means Kirk Helping Hands. We were overly impressed to see what a great job they do at improving the lives of others.

Virtual Event with Sarah Deters

We had a brilliant time with curator Sarah Deters as she took us on a virtual ‘Music Through the Ages’ tour of St Cecilia’s Hall: Concert Room and Music Museum.

Our residents were thrilled to discover weird and wonderful musical instruments, hear their unusual sounds, and find out how instruments have changed over the last 500 years.

The virtual live event explored the world-renown collection of musical instruments on display at St Cecilia’s Hall, Scotland’s oldest concert hall.

A lovely time was had by all.

Donation to local Charity, Lanarkshire Epilepsy

Four Hills were delighted to recently present Lanarkshire Epilepsy Support with a cheque for £1000 to help towards their wonderful singing workshops.

The aim of Lanarkshire Epilepsy is to provide support, to raise awareness and increase understanding of the effects of epilepsy and to establish monthly meetings with the purpose of overcoming the ignorance, fear and misunderstanding that often comes with epilepsy. Greater understanding will assist people in living a fuller life in terms of education, employment and social and recreational opportunities.

It was great to welcome Janice and her colleagues Phil and Helen to the home to find out more about Lanarkshire Epilepsy, and what a great job they do at improving the lives of those living with Epilepsy.
