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
Eyes Down!!!!
Earlier in the week we had a very competitive afternoon of bingo with all of our fellow Barchester homes across the country!
We played online against each other and competed for lines and full houses. Our Hilton Park team played well and won three full houses. Residents and family had a great time, especially when they received hamper prizes donated by Tesco Community and enjoyed the fresh fruit afterwards.
Congratulations to Gill, Richard, and Jacqui, our winners this time. We look forward to joining again next month.
VE Day Celebrations
We had a lovely time celebrating VE Day at Hilton Park.
Our day began with a journey through history and reminiscence, followed by an afternoon party featuring live music by Kirsty, who entertained us with fantastic songs from the 1940s. Our residents were thrilled, singing along to familiar tunes and enjoying every moment.
Thanks to everyone who made today so special.
Did somebody say chocolate!!
This year is the 200th anniversary of Cadbury and to celebrate this milestone, Hilton Park joined forces with Cadbury to celebrate the latter's the big day.
Cadbury provided us with presentation packs featuring a variety of their chocolates in unique wrappings and the residents enjoyed a virtual presentation on Cadbury's rich history, participated in an engaging quiz, and had the pleasure of sampling an assortment of Cadbury products.
Celebrating Dementia Week
We have recently been celebrating Dementia Week with lots of joyful activities both in and out of the home.
This Dementia Week, our residents have enjoyed a heart-warming line-up of activities, including animal therapy, engaging sensory sessions, and delightful trips to our local communities.
From the comfort and companionship of furry friends to stimulating sensory activities that evoke wonderful memories, and refreshing community outings that keep us connected – every moment has been truly special.
We are dedicated to enriching the lives of our residents with experiences that bring joy, comfort, and a sense of belonging.
International Nurses Day
Here at Hilton Park, we been celebrating International Nurses Day with the incredible heroes who light up our lives with their compassion and care.
The Hilton Park staff were treated by our lovely manager, Geanina, in appreciation of their hard work.
Thank you for all that you do!
Teaming up with Tesco
Recently, Sandra, the community Champion from Tesco, brought a lovely donation to our community and joined us for our pudding club, delighting our residents with stories of her charity work in Africa, which truly touched their hearts. She generously donated some delicious treats for our lovely residents to enjoy during our weekly Bingo and quiz sessions.
Our activity team took our residents to Tesco to shop for groceries, and once again, we were grateful to receive our weekly donations.
Together, supporting each other, we can create a world filled with sweet and happy feelings.
