Activities at Hilton Park Care Home

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!

What an incredible evening we had at our Memory Disco—an absolute success filled with laughter, singing, dancing, and pure joy!

Residents, families, visitors, and staff all joined in the fun, with hands in the air, voices raised in song, and hearts full of happiness. It was a night of beautiful moments shared together, and the atmosphere was nothing short of heart-warming.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a special evening—and an extra big shout-out to our fantastic DJ Juice from Zack FM, who kept the tunes flowing and the dance floor buzzing all night long!

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

It was a truly lovely day filled with cheerful and unexpected moments. We began the morning with a delightful visit to the garden centre, where everyone enjoyed browsing the vibrant seasonal displays. There was plenty of laughter shared as we took in the sights and soaked up the relaxed atmosphere. The visit was perfectly rounded off with a delicious hot coffee.

In the afternoon, the outing continued with a trip to Tesco, where two of the ladies happily picked up a few essential items. It was a simple yet heartwarming day that brought smiles all around.

Our ladies have been busy indulging in a spot of shopping, treating themselves and adding some lovely new pieces to their wardrobes. Morwenna and Margaret found a few wonderful items to pop into their baskets, while Pat enjoyed simply browsing the shops and soaking up the lively atmosphere.

The outing was rounded off perfectly with some well-deserved refreshments, plenty of laughter, and wonderful company – a truly enjoyable day for all involved

This morning, our residents showed great dedication by joining in on our group exercise session — stretching their muscles, getting active, and starting the day on a positive note!

Afterwards, they enjoyed some well-earned relaxation, chatting with fellow residents and making the most of the sunny weather and fresh air outdoors. It was a lovely way to stay healthy, social, and connected!

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.

It was a wonderful opportunity to stay active, have fun, and create some great memories together. We’re so proud of our residents for getting stuck in and showing off their bowling skills.

John, Richard and Dennis all agreed that is was a brilliant day out!

We’re absolutely thrilled to share some brilliant news - our recent QIR inspection results are in, and we’ve been rated Outstanding!

This fantastic achievement is a true testament to the dedication, teamwork, and passion of our amazing team. Every single day, you go above and beyond, and this recognition reflects the exceptional care and commitment you bring to our community.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone for your incredible hard work—and a special shout-out to our inspiring leaders, General Manager Geanina and Deputy Manager Adriana, for their outstanding guidance and support. 

Well done, team—what an achievement to be proud of!

David and Richard had a fantastic time playing pool together this week. David was thrilled to discover that we have a pool table – he used to love the game before moving to Hilton Park and even has his own equipment!

It didn’t take long for Richard to find his perfect playing partner, and once the games began, the two just didn’t want to stop. It was truly heart-warming to see them bonding over a shared interest and enjoying each other’s company.

We’re delighted to share that David and Richard have now scheduled regular pool sessions – a great start to what looks like a wonderful friendship.

Our residents enjoyed an exciting afternoon with eyes fixed on the bingo machine and ears tuned to the lively voice of our enthusiastic bingo caller. The room buzzed with anticipation as each number was called!

This week’s session was made even more special thanks to the generous prize donations from one of our residents’ families. A big congratulations to all those who achieved a full house – what a fantastic win!

Of course, everyone was a winner in their own way. No one went home empty-handed, as each resident received a sweet chocolate treat as a consolation prize – ensuring plenty of smiles all around.

We would like to take this opportunity to recognise, appreciate, and give a huge thank you to our wonderful housekeeping team here at our home.

Your hard work and dedication make such a meaningful difference to the lives of our residents — from keeping our environment spotless and welcoming, to sharing kind conversations, and always stepping in to support your colleagues whenever needed.

Thank you for everything you do. You truly are amazing, and we want you to know that we see and value all that you bring to our home every single day.

Thank you, housekeeping team!

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.

We had a truly wonderful day celebrating Diwali – the Festival of Lights! The atmosphere was vibrant and full of joy as residents and their families came together to enjoy the festivities. The event featured lively and colourful Bollywood dancing by Anwaar Belly Dance, bringing energy and excitement to the celebration.

Our talented chef Adriana delighted everyone with a delicious spread of traditional Indian cuisine, adding rich flavours to the day. Laughter, music, and a strong sense of community filled the air, as we embraced the spirit of Diwali together.

We were delighted to welcome a brand-new group to our community today – the Band of Ukes! Residents and families had a truly wonderful time singing along and enjoying their lively, feel-good performance.

It was an afternoon filled with music, smiles, and a wonderful sense of togetherness. We can’t wait to see them – and all of you – again very soon!!

Residents had a fantastic time exploring Scotsdales, taking in the beautiful seasonal displays, picking out some lovely cards, and enjoying light refreshments – including, of course, a proper cuppa and plenty of cheerful conversation.

The day was made even more special by the presence of our former resident ambassador, Jacqui, whose visit brought smiles all around.

It was truly a day to remember – filled with laughter, shared memories, and meaningful moments spent together.

Our residents have been enjoying a delightful flower arranging activity, creating beautiful floral displays that now brighten both our communal areas and their own bedrooms.

This hands-on session brought plenty of smiles, bursts of colour, and a cheerful atmosphere throughout our home. It’s been a wonderful way to express creativity and share joy with one another.
