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.

Bonfire celebrations
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.
A busy week
Residents here at Four Hills enjoy a varied life enrichment programme and this week we have had a busy one - themed arts and crafts, enjoy the late autumnal sunshine to take walks around our local community, a spot of retail therapy in our local shops and of course, it was eyes down for one of our favourites - bingo!
Spooktacular Halloween Party
We had a spooktactular day hosting our traditional Halloween party, there was some great costumes on show, residents enjoyed live entertainment, delicious cakes and of course lots of sweet treats especially prepared by our hospitality team.
We also hosted a kids party in the morning playing fun Halloween games and dunking for apples, we had so much fun, with the children bringing massive smiles to the faces of our residents. Maintaining intergenerational links is important to us.
Macmillan Coffee Morning at the Mosque
We had a lovely morning out at our local mosque who were hosting a McMillan coffee morning for the local community.
It was great to be out in the community supporting a great cause with lots of money raised. We enjoyed some delicious cakes and sampling some of the great food that was put on whilst making new friends.
It was a wonderful to spend a morning.
Intergenerational Friends
Our residents of Four Hills care home were visited by the local children of Benview nursery school this morning.
They all had a lovely time getting to know one another and finding out what they were all up to since our last visit.
Everyone enjoyed some fresh fruit and juice and our residents can’t wait to visit them next week.
