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
Sponsored Walk
Residents and staff at Four Hills were delighted to join our local community to take part in a 2 mile sponsored walk in association with our local housing association.
There was 10 residents and staff who joined in on the day.
Erich a keen hillwalker was delighted to take part and was able to complete the whole walk without assistance.
After the walk we all joined the community at the local hub were we enjoyed a barbecue and some live entertainment from the band.
Residents have managed to raise around £400 in sponsor’s which will go towards some fabulous activities over the summer.
Happy 90th Birthday Marion
Marion celebrated her 90th birthday this week. Residents all enjoyed her party with live entertainment from Christian who all the residents love as they remember going to watch him in the Pavilion Theatre, he sang all their favourite tunes.
Marion really enjoyed her 21st Birthday cake as Marion would like to stay 21 forever and our chef was happy to oblige with a special cake for her. We all had a fabulous afternoon of singing and dancing.

The rich history of coronations
Across our services Residents had a wonderful time participating in an interactive virtual talk with Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster, where we delved into the rich history of coronations.
During the talk, we explored fascinating topics such as the coronation chair, the crown, and other significant aspects related to King Charles' upcoming coronation. Our residents were thrilled to have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the memoirs of past coronations from 1937 and 1953, as well as learning about the coronation oath and what to expect from the ceremony, including the music, guests, and pageantry.
