Activities at Four Hills Care Home

Another fabulous day at Four Hills, we invited in the ladies from our over 50s community group that our residents have been going to on a weekly basis for an afternoon of karaoke and fun.

We all had a great day singing and dancing together, the ladies from the group were really impressed by the set up here at four hills and how engaged the staff are with the residents, lots of the ladies commented that if there time came that they had to choose a care home Four Hills would be the choice for them as they could see how homely a feel the place has.

Residents at Four Hills are getting into Christmas spirit by doing some crafting. We are very busy making things to sell at our Christmas fete. We have been making calendars, cards, Christmas baubles.

We have been loving it as we get to practice our Christmas carols as we are busy working.

Residents at Four Hills celebrated bonfire night with a night out in the garden where our maintenance team put on a lovely fireworks display, we all enjoyed the beautiful colours and writing our names with our sparklers.

Afterward it was inside for a heat with some delicious hot chocolate and cakes while we reminisced about how the spent bonfire night with their children and how they would do penny for the guy which children don’t do nowadays.

Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night is an annual commemoration observed on the 5th of November.  We spent time learning about the gunpowder plot where Guy Fawkes and his associates planned to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament in 1605.

In celebration we chose a selection of fireworks and we gave our residents some sparklers to light once the sun had set, and enjoyed traditional bonfire treats especially prepared by the homes hospitality team.
