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.

Carers Week
We had a great week celebrational National Carers Week!
We are proud of each and every one of our care team for the outstanding care that they provide to our residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this we are truly grateful.
As part of the week, our carers received some lovely gifts as a thank you for all they do.
National Trust talk
We had a fantastic time joining National Trust Talks Service team at Cliveden House for an inspirational talk on Nancy Astor – the first woman to take a seat in the House of Commons.
Our residents had the opportunity to learn more about the fascinating life of Nancy and her political career. As the first women MP, she experienced both attention and scandal throughout her life, which led to many triumphs and numerous disasters.
The talk was truly enjoyed by all.
Creating posies with florist
We had a lovely time joining Sue and Nicole from Ferndown Florist for an intriguing flower arrangement workshop in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful virtual demonstration and got inspired to create their own flower posies for our Jubilee displays.
Our home was specially decorated for the Jubilee festivities and we all had a great time!
Jubilee celebrations fit for a Queen!
We marked the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in style with fantastic activities and royal parties.
In recognition of the special occasion, we decorated our home with bunting, beautiful flower displays and themed royal items, including flags and printed photos of the Queen through the years and iconic royal landmarks, like Windsor Castle.
During the Jubilee weekend, our residents enjoyed a variety of sensory sessions and fun-filled activities such as royal games and themed quizzes.
To make things even more interesting, we’ve hosted our very own Jubilee Tea Party with live entertainment where community members, families and friends were invited.
Everyone enjoyed delicious sweet and savoury treats, prepared by our talented chef and his team, along with tasty cocktails and mocktails. The event was a big success.
Our festivities were fantastic and everyone was thrilled to celebrate the longest serving British monarch in style.
