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
Sweet Treats
Residents and colleagues were delighted to receive some sweet treats from their local Poundland store. Everyone will be able to enjoy a number of delicious treats thanks to the generosity of Pauline, Emma and Eddie from Poundland on Argyle Street in Glasgow, who kindly dropped them off at the home.
VE Day Celebrations
Residents of Four Hills celebrated VE Day with a traditional tea party to commemorate 75 years since the end of the Second World War.
Staff and residents at Four Hills, along with people all over the UK, joined together for the ‘Nation’s Toast to the Heroes of WW2’. In light of the current situation, rather than celebrating with street parties, at 3pm on May 8th, the country was encouraged to mark the day with a nationwide toast, paying tribute to the many millions at home and abroad who sacrificed so much to ensure we all enjoy and share the freedom we have today.
Residents also celebrated the occasion by painting the home red, white and blue with Union Jacks, watching virtual entertainment and enjoying a good old singalong to war time songs before tucking into a delicious selection of food that was on offer.
Embracing Technology
Residents at Four Hills have been busy keeping in touch with their loved ones by sharing personal messages on postcards. They have also had great fun posing for pictures with our love message board. Residents have also been making use of Skype and FaceTime so that they can video call their relatives.
Nursery Visit
Residents love story time with our weekly visiting nursery kid. They have all developed a great bond and both groups really look forward to their weekly catch up.
Musical Magic
We enjoyed songs from musicals and some classical singing at our monthly concert.
Sewing Group
We were joined by the local children’s sewing group who presented our residents with doodle blankets they had made. Everyone had a great time chatting to the children about how they were created.
