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.

Wild Side Walk
The residents at Four Hills recently took a walk on the wild side as they hosted a pet therapy session which delighted Residents. During the group session one of the homes Residents ticked off a wish from her bucket list by holding a snake.
All residents enjoyed being able to see and hold a variety of animals. Pet therapy can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also increase self-esteem and improve social skills, so everyone was absolutely delighted to have them along.
Dancing Queens
We were joined by Irish dancers recently, and residents really enjoyed their routine.
