Activities at Hilton Park Care Home
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.

Life at Hilton Park Care Home
Farewell John!
Residents and staff gathered for our farewell celebration for one of our lovely residents, John, who is heading back home after a few months of staying with us. John actively led our quiz and read for his fellow residents. Today, we hosted a sweet farewell party for him. Everyone had a great time, especially John, and savoured the homemade cake prepared by our chef, Anthony. Live music was performed by our new entertainer, Luan. Residents, Families and staff joined in for singing and dancing. John mentioned he would like to continue joining our weekly quiz and music sessions and kindly invited us to visit him in his home. From all the staff at Hilton Park, we extend our warmest wishes to you, John.
Happy Birthday Pam!
Please join us in wishing our lovely resident Pam a very happy birthday. Pam is celebrating her birthday surrounded by her loving family. How delightful it is to see these lovely photos of family and staff joining in singing 'Happy Birthday' to Pam.
Fresh Fruits Friday
Friday is Hilton Park's favourite day! Today, we have been treated to well-presented fresh fruits. After indulging in loads of sweets over the past few weeks, we are enjoying fresh fruits today for all Hilton Park staff, not only for the day shift, but also for the night shift. Thank you Geanina and Barchester Healthcare.
Flower Arranging
Our delightful residents have thoroughly enjoyed the art of flower arranging using beautiful fresh blooms. Our experienced residents' ambassador Jacqui, shared some techniques on how to prolong the life of our flowers. This activity is greatly cherished by our residents and fosters creativity. Well done, everyone!
Bringing in the New Year
Today, we started our New Year's Day festivities with the wonderful entertainer, Kirsty. Her vibrant energy filled our afternoon, bringing joy to our residents and families as they sang along, clapped, and waved together. We had a lovely time indulging in delicious cheese and wine afterwards. What a delightful way to begin the New Year!
A visit to Sawston Church
Today, we had a very special trip to Sawston Church, not just for the church service but also for a large congregation where members brought their own food to share with everyone. Betty met many of her friends and neighbours at church. She was so pleased and somewhat emotional when she saw the Christmas stable display crafted by her late husband. Betty and her husband have been active members of the church for many decades, so taking Betty there to continue her life while living with us has had a significant impact on her. "It was a very lovely trip; thank you for taking me there. What a wonderful treat," said Betty.
