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
Smoothies! Mmmmmm!
To celebrate Nutrition and Hydration Week residents at Hilton Park enjoyed a variety of different tasty healthy smoothies.
Some were loved and some tasted like Cold Soup! However, not a drop was left and our residents had lots of fun. Needless to say, some of the feedback had everyone in hysterics!
Now, the challenge is on to make our own recipes and see what creations our Smoothie connoisseurs come up with!
Generations come togther at regular fun craft workshop
What better way to help young people learn about sewing and knitting than to learn from the best?!?
Our Activities Team Janice and Anna accompanied some of Hilton Park's most avid knitters to Swaffham Prior School for a craft workshop and tutorial.
Everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and the pupils and our residents cannot wait to visit again next week; a truly special weekly event for everyone!
Variations Charity Show
The Variations group of performers joined the residents at Hilton Park for an amazing afternoon of varied performances including singing, poetry and individual solos. All proceeds were donated to the Alzheimer's society and it truly was a spectacular afternoon!
Happy Chinese New Year!
The Atrium at Hilton Park was decorated with beautiful lanterns, streamers and residents enjoyed a selection of Chinese Teas and delicacies. We had a brilliant afternoon together celebrating the year of the Pig.
Happy 100th Birthday Dr Cynthia!
Celebrations have been in full swing at Hilton Park Care as one of its residents reached her centenary in style. Dr Cynthia Phillips was joined by staff, relatives and other residents as she received a telegram from the Queen in recognition of her landmark birthday. An Afternoon Tea was held and guests enjoyed cake and a special Trifle made by the home’s chef Rob Lindsay. Reflecting on reaching this special birthday Dr Cynthia said: “I do not really have any tips but I always enjoyed hill walking when I was younger and have a reason to get up every day!”
Roses are Red this Valentines at Hilton Park
Our Stitch and Chat Group at Hilton Park had been busy knitting beautiful roses for our Valentines party with live music from Romy which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The Stitch and Chat group meets every Tuesday in the Trinity Lounge at 2.30pm. Blankets for charity, Hats and Vegetables for our Harvest Festival? They knit it all and are always looking for new projects and members too!
