Activities at Hilton Park Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. 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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Hilton Park Care Home
Christmas Crafts
Residents from Hilton Park made some beautiful Christmas wreaths and decorated oranges with cloves, which were displayed all around the home, with one in pride of place on our front door.
Pamper Session
Students from the local village college came to host a pamper session for the residents of Hilton Park. The ladies' nails looked beautiful and the students were thanked by all.
Hilton Park Christmas Fair
Residents, families, friends, staff and members of the local community enjoyed looking at the various stalls at our annual Christmas Fair, and trying their luck on the Tombola stalls and Grand Raffle. Everyone commented on what was a very successful afternoon.
Christmas Choir
Hilton Park and Oaklands enjoyed Christmas Hymns sung by a local choir. This event really got us into the Christmas spirit.
Remembrance Day Service
As part of Hilton Park and Oakland's Remembrance Day activities, residents from both homes came together to remember those who have fallen in battle. Leading up to Remembrance Day, residents and staff created a stunning poppy dress, which truly set off our Remembrance Day display. Residents also painted beautiful pictures of poppies. We held a Remembrance Day service and The Last Post was played.
Halloween Afternoon Tea
Our monthly afternoon tea took on a spooky theme as we celebrated Halloween. Witches hats were worn by both residents and staff and everyone commented on the scary pumpkins!
