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.

Christmas Party
What a splendid Christmas party we had here at Hilton Park today! We were entertained by the wonderful Alex Southgate, with residents, staff, and family joining in. Our day began by delivering gifts to all our residents. This year, we decided to deliver our gifts with a Christmas sleigh, Bringing joy with sincere gifts. Seeing the delight on our residents' faces was truly precious. We wrapped up our Christmas day with a fantastic party. What a day! Thank you to everyone who joined us today, and a special thanks to all the staff at Hilton Park for your hard work in making everything happen.
Anglesey Abbey and Gardens
We had a delightful trip to enjoy the autumn before it ended. Jacqui, alongside our lovely couple Barry and Val, had a wonderful time exploring the Anglesey Abbey and Gardens and basking in the sunny weather.

At Hilton Park, our festive celebrations have begun! Today was our annual Christmas fete, where we welcomed friends and family to join us.

We were also enchanted by mesmerising Anwaar Belly Dance who joined the festivities, along with residents, families, and stands joining in the dancing.
