Activities at Hilton Park 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. Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Jenelyn Szabo
Hello, my name is Jenelyn and I am the head of activities here at Hilton Park.
Having started my Barchester journey as a carer back in 2019, I have gained good experience of working closely with our residents. After being a carer I then moved onto the Activities team and thoroughly enjoyed working as an Activities co-ordinator, which led to my promotion to Activity Lead.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing the smiles on our residents faces.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Hilton Park Care Home
A day out in the Community
Today, we enjoyed a lovely day out in our local community.
In the morning, we visited our friends at All Saints in Newmarket for our senior coffee morning, where our residents had a delightful time chatting over coffee and singing along to some familiar tunes.
In the afternoon, we headed to Tesco in Milton for a bit of shopping. We were pleased to receive a generous donation from the Community Champion, which will be added to our residents’ bingo prize collection.
It was a truly enjoyable day, filled with smiles, great conversations, and the joy of being out and about.
The Easter preparation's continue.......
Residents are getting more excited for our Easter celebrations!
Today, we spent some lovely time in the garden putting up decorations to spread the Easter cheer. With big smiles, residents guided Aldona on where to hang everything, all while enjoying the fresh spring air.
We also visited residents in their rooms for some gentle, relaxing activities to brighten their day.
Easter Bunny Spotted at Hilton Park
Two of our residents were in for a lovely surprise when the Easter Bunny arrived to inspect our grounds ahead of this week’s activities, looking for the perfect spots to hide eggs for the children’s Easter egg hunt.
Morwenna said, “I’ve seen life-sized bunnies on television before, but never in real life – what a surprise!”
Morwenna and Greta were teary-eyed with laughter, it was such a joyful and memorable moment.
On the 18th, we’ll be hosting our Easter Yard Sale, with visiting animals and a special appearance from the Easter Bunny.
Come along and join in the fun!
Tim's long-awaited daytrip
For the first time in four years, Tim went out on a trip. He’s often felt unsure about going out, but recently he’s been full of motivation and said yes — and he thoroughly enjoyed wandering around Coton Orchard Garden Centre Cambridge with his fellow residents.
They loved looking at the Easter decorations and plants, and all enjoyed a lovely coffee together.
We hope this is just the beginning. Congratulations, Tim, on this wonderful milestone — and well done to everyone involved!!
A day at the Farm
We had a lovely little minibus trip to South Angle Farm Park yesterday with our animal-loving residents. From start to finish, it was absolutely fantastic!
On the way, we enjoyed the beautiful views of green fields - just as Mary said, it was so relaxing to see.
When we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming. We had a wonderful time strolling around the park, feeding the goats and sheep. Everyone had a good laugh when Richard joked that the sheep could do with a bit of conditioner!
We also had the chance to get up close with the ponies, and Richard even gave a little demonstration to other visitors on how to feed the goats with confidence - he was a natural!
It was a truly delightful experience, and we’re already looking forward to visiting again.
Going out on a high.....
