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.

Scone baking masterclass
Residents from Four Hills enjoyed an afternoon of scone making as part of their baking masterclass which took them back to their younger years. Baking sessions are a popular activity for the home and the activity had taste buds tingling.
Lindsay McCulloch, General Manager said: “The residents enjoyed getting creative with their baking as it not only brings back memories of their childhood, but also times when they’ve baked with their own children and grandchildren. Once all the scones were baked, we all enjoyed sitting down with a cup of tea and deciding if it was jam or cream first!.”
Intergenerational links
Residents at Four Hills have recently enjoyed an intergenerational link with the children from local school, High Park Primary School. The residents had a great time in sharing ‘Scottish’ words and phrases as the children learnt the new words and their meaning. It was a fun-filled virtual session as everyone joined in the guessing game!
We have also shared a short video to the school for the children to enjoy. One resident, William a retired teacher was delighted to join in and said “children don’t learn a lot of their Scottish heritage these days”.
Residents create Winter wonderland
Residents at Four Hills recently helped to create their very own photo booth as they look at sending to their loved ones with Christmas cards. Residents had a great time decorating the tree and making the place feel like Christmas as it reminded them of doing it at home. The Winter wonderland theme has certainly put everyone into the festive spirit!
Elf Day
At Four hills we loved National Elf day, we loved finding out what mischief our Elves had created before an afternoon of dressing up and watching the film on our brand new cinema screen as residents enjoyed ice cream, nibbles and popcorn.. with one of resident remarking “this was the best cinema experience ever”.
Creating Christmas decorations
Residents of Four Hills have been busy decorating the home as they countdown to Christmas. Resident, Jean helped to create bespoke decorations for the homes entry into the Barchester ‘Best dressed tree’ competition.
Residents picked their own designs with Santa’s and Snowmen being firm favourites. Jean even suggested they set up a business to make some money with their winning designs! It was a wonderful afternoon as everyone shared stories of their favourite Christmas experiences and memories from when they made decorations as children.
