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.

Truffles with Unilever
We had a lovely time joining Paul Hawkins and Steve Wilkes from Unilever for an exciting immersive Christmas experience.
Our residents were welcomed with chocolate treats as Paul and Steve took them on an exciting chocolate truffle making and biscuit decorating journey.
To finish off the Christmas special event, our residents enjoyed a themed quiz and a singalong.
We all had a wonderful time.
Christmas decorations
In preparation for the upcoming Christmas festivities, we spent time decorating our home with colourful themed ornaments, lights and baubles.
Our residents had fun creating the home’s Christmas display and got involved in arts and crafts sessions to paint baubles and make the beautiful decorations for our Christmas tree.
We held a special lights switch-on ceremony, where we turned on the Christmas lights at the home.
Christingle
As part of our creative festive activities, we’ve organised a crafts session to make Christingles - a symbolic object, which represents ‘Christ’s light’.
Our residents used oranges, candles, ribbons, sticks holding dried fruit and nuts to create beautiful Christingle decorations, which will be displayed around the home and also distributed to our local community.
Christmas traditions
Christmas isn't the same without cakes – now it's the turn of our homes to continue the tradition that's been 500 years in the baking! This Noël, Barchester’s Christmas Cake Competitions set the challenge of creating a cake that's fit for kings, be it an angel, apple, bakewell or banana, or even the classic Christmas fruitcake.
The residents of Four Hills donned their aprons, popped on the carols and whipped up a mighty fine entry and have a lot of fun at the same time.
Goldfinch
We all had a wonderful time joining Jennifer Owen - founder of Goldfinch Floral Studio for a creative floral bauble workshop.
Jennifer transported our residents to the out of the ordinary world of flowers and crafts and demonstrated how to create stunning hand-made baubles filled with dried flowers and grasses.
Our residents enjoyed filling and decorating their own glass baubles and their unique creations will be displayed at the home for everyone to enjoy.
Blenheim Christmas lights
We experienced the Christmas extravaganza of Blenheim Palace with Social Historian - Antonia Keaney, who took us on a recorded tour around the Christmas sights at the palace this year.
