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.

King's 75th Birthday Celebrations
Happy 75th Birthday to King Charles III!
Today, the residents here at Hilton Park have been celebrating King Charles's birthday. We kicked off the day by crafting our own crowns with the help of students from Bottisham Village College; it was great fun creating our individual pieces. Some of our wonderful students visited individuals for a friendly chat. Tim and Betty were absolutely delighted to have the students in their room.
In the afternoon, residents enjoyed live music performed by "Somethin Else", featuring a British-themed show. And, of course, a delicious cake made by our talented chef, Anthony, was shared amongst everyone. A big thank you to all involved.
