Activities at Hilton Park Care Home

We had an exciting day of ten-pin bowling in Cambridge, which brought out the competitive spirit in our resident's, including those in their later years, who displayed remarkable skill!

Everyone was thrilled and cheered enthusiastically each time a pin was knocked down, filling the lanes with laughter and joy. This enjoyable activity is not only a brilliant way to stay active, but it also strengthens social connections, boosting both physical and emotional well-being.

We can’t wait to make this a regular event for all!

Well done everyone.

Yesterday, we had a lovely coffee morning to welcome our new residents. It was wonderful to have some great conversations, share ideas about our upcoming activities, and start planning for next month.

We ended the day with a fun game of Bingo, and everyone was excited for the chance to get a full house!!

At Hilton Park we support and encourage our residents to continue doing the things they love whilst also making new friends and exploring new adventures. 

We recently had another lovely afternoon out at Anglesey Abbey and Gardens with the residents and there was one resident in particular that had an especially good time.

Joan enjoyed her first trip out since coming to stay at Hilton Park and having her family there made the day even more special for her.

Jenni and the rest of the Activities Team are dedicated to ensuring that we organise outings that encourage our residents to invite their families and friends. Our home is always to open to loved ones who wish to take part in our life enrichment program.

After a very busy August at Hilton Park, the residents decided that they wanted nothing better than a little 'Knit and Natter' so that is exactly what we did.

Here at Hilton Park, we know that being able to continue lifelong hobbies or interests is a key part of our resident's identities, and we make every effort to encourage and support each resident to be able to do so.

We had a very special day yesterday as we made Steve's wish to watch the football team that he used to manage, happen.

For a number of years, Steve was the manager of Mildenhall Town Football Club and we were delighted to have the opportunity to take Steve and his wife, Karen, to watch the August Bank Holiday local derby against another one of the football clubs that Steve was associated with, Cambridge City Football Club.

Steve was greeted by officials of both clubs and saw several of his old acquaintances who were delighted to see him and Karen for the first time in many years and enjoyed reminiscing of their time spent together on and off the pitch.

It was a pleasure to be part of this and we are very proud that we were able to grant Steve his wish. Many thanks to both clubs for making Steve feel so welcome.

What a fantastic day!

Despite the weather not being in our favour, the carnival celebrations continued with high spirits. We spent a delightful afternoon singing and dancing with the wonderful Kirsty and enjoyed a spread of delicious food, thanks to our brilliant hospitality team.

The celebrations were truly special, with residents, families, and staff all having a wonderful time. A huge thank you to everyone involved, especially Kirsty, for making our afternoon so enjoyable.
