Activities at Four Hills Care Home

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.

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.

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.

Here at Four Hills we are keen for our residents to participate in community groups outside of the home , persuing interests they had before coming to live at Four Hills. Helen and Jean come to us with the idea of attending the local cross-stitching group as this is something they loved to do. We have arranged for the ladies to join our local group and we attend this weekly, the ladies have built up a great bond with the other ladies who attend and we are working on some great projects together.

Residents across our services had a wonderful time joining Cadbury for an interactive virtual talk on their fascinating 200-year history.

Residents joining learnt interesting facts about the chocolate giant, shared memories, and reminisced about their favourite sweet treats.

It was a heartwarming experience filled with laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of chocolatey goodness!
