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
Pizza making
Four Hills residents thoroughly enjoying a pizza making afternoon residents loved having free reign with the variety of ingredients and the big debate was does pineapple belong on a pizza. We made that much that all the residents around the home had a wee sample of our delicious pizzas.
Unit Manager celebrated 15-years service
A Unit Manager at Four Hills Care Home in Glasgow has received a prestigious Long Service Award in celebration of working at Barchester Healthcare for fifteen years.
Eric Cordiner, now Unit Manager, started at Barchester in October 2006 and has worked closely with residents and their relatives to ensure that their needs have been met over the years.
Jane McFarlane, Employee Services Director at Barchester said: “I’m always pleased to hear stories about the long service of Barchester staff and am delighted Eric has achieved this milestone. It is dedication like this that ensures our residents are provided with a happy place to live.”
Creative writing
We had a great time joining journalist and novelist, Mike Gayle, for an intriguing virtual interview, during which he shared top tips for creative writing with our residents and read passages from his latest book, All the Lonely People.
We were thrilled to find out about Mike’s background, to understand what led him to become a writer and his creative process.
It was a lovely talk, enjoyed by all, especially by our keen writers at the home.
Residents take to the high seas
We had a lovely time joining Paul Hawkins and Lisa Richards from Unilever for an exciting Virtual Cruise experience.
Our residents were welcomed with mocktails as Lisa and Paul took them on a magical journey to 3 mystery destinations, which were uncovered after a few clues.
Paul demonstrated how to create a few of the local traditional dishes, which our residents had the opportunity to try too.
The event evoked lots of great memories and it was truly enjoyed by all.
Sewing bees
Residents at Four Hills enjoying an afternoon of sewing, this is a purse making project which we are doing in conjuction with the local school childrens sewing club who would come in every week before lockdown so small projects like this keep up our links with them.
A visit to the gallery
Residents at Four Hills persuing the art at the Kelvingrove Art Galleries on an day out, this was one of their favourite pieces as it brought back lots of memories of a Glasgow tenement.
