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
A Canal Boat trip with Seagull Trust
Residents at Four Hills enjoying a lovely canal boat trip down the Clyde from Kirkintilloch to Bishopbriggs thanks to our friends at the Seagull trust who run the tours.
We enjoyed a beautiful sunny day taking in the sights and the wildlife on the canal, we even saw a few canoeists along the way and enjoyed a lovely picnic as we sat out on the deck.
This was especially poignant for our Tommy who used to walk these canal paths every week when he was younger and fitter so he had lots to tell us about the history of the area and local landmarks.
Tommy and his family were delighted that he could take part in this trip and he has been talking about it for weeks since we have been back.
Historic Hendon
Across our services we had a lovely time joining Rhiannon Watkinson from the RAF Museum London for an interactive talk exploring the exciting and innovative aviation history of Hendon.
Our residents were able to learn about the first flights from the fields at Hendon, the creation of the London Aerodrome and Battle of Britain pilots who flew from RAF Hendon.
The talk also included photographic and film material from the Museum’s archive. Residents across our homes had a fantastic time and we truly enjoyed the virtual experience.
Home celebrate 'Good' following recent inspection
The team at Four Hills Care Home celebrated in the sunshine this afternoon having received an overall 'GOOD' rating from the Care Inspectorate. The service was praised for delivering a caring, responsive, safe, effective and well led service.
