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
Theraputic ponies pay a visit
Four Hills care home, in Glasgow, was full of animal mischief on this week when a couple of miniature Shetland ponies came to visit the home. Residents at Four Hills were pleasantly surprised to see their new furry friends roaming around their sitting rooms and bedrooms as Therapeutic Ponies Scotland paid a visit.
General Manager Eleanor Wilson said: “Our residents have really enjoyed their unusual visitors today. We knew that having the ponies here would be a bit of fun for all our residents, especially as some find it difficult to go on many outings in our minibus. We are always looking for new activities for the residents and today we have seen the seen the enjoyment and the therapeutic influence animals can have on people.”
Residents take to the water
Four Hills care home, in Glasgow, where residents have been enjoying the last of the sunshine before stepping into autumn with a fabulous day out on the canal boats, thanks to our friends from the Seagull Trust.
Residents at Four Hills had a fabulous time taking in the sights, sounds and wildlife living on the canals, it was a beautiful day so residents loved sitting out on the deck, we chatted to a few paddle boarders as they passed and tried naming the different types of birds we saw on our journey.
Cycling without Age
As part of the World Cycling Championships being held in Glasgow this month, thanks to Cycling Without Age residents of Four Hills were able to take part in the experience by being given Rickshaws rides around the Clydeside of Glasgow.
Jenny said it was a great day, feeling the wind in her face, seeing the sights of Glasgow and another great experience she never thought she would take part in at her age.
Fun at the Science Centre
What a fantastic day we all had at the Science Centre actually don’t know who had more fun the residents or the staff.
There was so much to see and do. We had a go with all the gadgets. Everyone had a good laugh. It was also very interesting learning about new technology, biology, physics and your carbon foot print.
Community Friends
Another great day at the ladies lunch group in Springburn, this week as well as having a right good laugh we painted some stones for our garden, after a lovely lunch together.
Riding for Disabled trip
Another great afternoon at the Riding for Disabled stables, meeting all the lovely horses, some of the residents were a little apprehensive at first but as soon as they met the horses the nerves disappeared and they were soon brushing and grooming them.
Another great day out, thanks to all the volunteers for their help.
