Activities at Four Hills Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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
The Puppet Gang Scotland
After lots of great festive activities over December this was one of our resident’s favourite’s, we were treated to a great show of puppets and bubbles from the guys at The Puppet Gang Scotland. We had a wonderful afternoon full of laughter, they do say that’s the best medicine, we had special visits from Elvis and Dolly Parton, residents loved seeing the tricks that Pinocchio could do, The bubble show was mesmerising with staff and residents both taking part in the show.
Big Quiz of the Year
All over the country our care homes and hospitals linked up for Barchester’s Big Quiz of the year!
Residents tested their knowledge with a variety of questions, from historical humdingers and musical musings to pictorial puzzlers and connective conundrums.
Everyone who participated had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.
Nursery children meet Santa
After weeks of our own Christmas parties it was the turn of the children from Benview Nursery school who visit the home regularly as part of our intergenerational links. We enjoy our visits to the nursery too!
We welcomed the children back after the Christmas break and we had a wonderful morning playing traditional party games together, enjoying lots of sweet treats, before a visit from our very own Santa Claus (one of our residents Billy - who really looks forward to doing this every year for the kids) he said it’s fantastic to see the smiles on their faces and the excitement in their eyes.
Meeting the Reindeers
Across our homes we got into the Christmas spirit of things by joining a festive live virtual experience, led by Des and Kelly from Performing Pets.
Our residents were thrilled to meet the charming furry friends and get up close and personal with the reindeers.
We certainly learnt some interesting facts about the animals and had a fantastic time.
Karaoke Afternoon
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.
Christmas Crafting
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.
