Activities at Hilton Park Care Home

The atmosphere at Hilton Park was filled with excitement as the home proudly celebrated the grand opening of its very own pub, the “Hilton Lounge Bar." The ribbon-cutting ceremony was carried out by Resident Ambassador John, Relatives’ Ambassador Beverley, General Manager Geanina, and members of the team, with confetti adding a joyful flourish to the occasion.

Guests were treated to live music from Luan Female Vocalist, a delicious selection of cheeses, and an assortment of alcohol-free drinks as everyone gathered to mark this special moment. The event highlighted the hard work, creativity, and dedication of the staff whose ideas, craftsmanship, and beautiful decorations transformed the space into a warm, welcoming pub-style lounge.

The Hilton Lounge Bar holds a special importance for residents. For many, visiting a traditional pub is no longer as easy or comfortable as it once was, so having a cosy and familiar pub environment within the home provides a wonderful opportunity to relax, socialise, and enjoy favourite programmes in a setting that feels both nostalgic and comforting. It also supports social connection, brings people together, and helps maintain a sense of normalcy and community.

The newly opened pub is now available for residents, families, and visitors to enjoy – offering a space that feels like home, but with all the charm of a local pub.     

Hilton Park had the pleasure of welcoming Elvis back into the building today. Residents and their families enjoyed a truly wonderful afternoon, singing along and embracing the lively atmosphere. 

The visit was especially meaningful for those who are particularly fond of Elvis, and the smiles on their faces made the occasion even more special.   

Our residents had a lovely time making their own pumpkin crafts, joined by a wonderful daughter of one of our residents.

There was plenty of chatting and laughter — and Richard spent some relaxing time sketching a beautiful bird. Such amazing focus and talent!

We love seeing our residents express their creativity, followed by a nice hot drink afterwards.

We started our morning with a lovely visit to All Saints Church in Newmarket for our monthly coffee morning. One of our residents enjoyed a wonderful tour of the church, while Margaret and Beryl had a lovely time catching up over coffee.

In the afternoon, we headed over to Tesco with three of our residents for a little browse — and, of course, more coffee! There was plenty of chatting, laughter, and even a bit of singing along the way.

It was a day full of smiles, friendship, and fun moments shared together. 

Today, we were blessed with a truly beautiful Harvest Festival service, kindly led by wonderful volunteers from our local villages. The atmosphere was filled with gratitude, joy, and a deep sense of togetherness.

Our residents thoroughly enjoyed reminiscing about past harvest celebrations, singing beloved hymns, and sharing heartfelt prayers of thanks. Many reflected on cherished memories from their younger years, and the service brought a comforting sense of peace and community to all who attended.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special. Your kindness and time meant the world.

Residents at Hilton Park have been hard at work creating their Christmas cake competition entry, and the final decorations are now beautifully finished. The activity brought everyone together, with many residents sharing fond memories of past Christmases and family baking traditions as they worked.

The finished cake reflects creativity, teamwork, and the festive spirit within the home. It’s a truly special entry, and Hilton Park looks forward to presenting it in this year’s competition.     

Residents, families and staff came together for an enjoyable afternoon of karaoke.

We had a truly heartwarming afternoon as residents and staff welcomed students from Bottisham Village College. The event was filled with fun and friendly competition, thanks to a lively quiz hosted by Mr Darling, the school's enthusiastic PE teacher.

Residents and students teamed up, sharing knowledge, laughter, and a bit of healthy rivalry, creating a joyful and enriching experience for all. After the quiz, everyone enjoyed some lovely conversations together, building connections across generations.

A big thank you to the wonderful students for taking the time to visit and brighten our day — and of course, a special thanks to Mr Darling for leading such a fun-filled session!

We all had a wonderful time—and we’re already looking forward to the next one!

Residents at Hilton Park enjoyed a wonderful afternoon welcoming the United Christian Church Choir into the home. The choir performed beautifully, shared prayers for residents and families, and created a warm, uplifting atmosphere with their music.

After singing, choir members spent time chatting with residents while enjoying refreshments, adding a personal and heartfelt touch to the visit. Many residents expressed how much they appreciated the kindness and companionship.

Hilton Park and Bottisham Village College share a fantastic partnership, and today’s visit was another excellent example of the community coming together. Residents thoroughly enjoyed meeting Pudsey and joining in the fun.

Last Wednesday, three of our lovely gentlemen residents enjoyed a fantastic afternoon at Tenpin Bowling Cambridge! The lanes were filled with laughter, friendly competition, and even a few impressive strikes.
