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
Movement to Music!
It is very important to keep moving as you get older - movement to music is one of the many fun exercise classes that we run here at Hilton Park. An instructor comes in to show us the moves and everybody has great fun getting involved!
Valentines Choir
Residents enjoy a weekly choir session with warm up songs and then into our choir sheets , which our the same songs so lots of repeating and reminiscence . Some residents even enjoyed a dance with Julie the choir teacher whilst singing
School Visit
Every Wednesday lunchtime, a small group of children visit our home to read with residents. This activity helps to build the confidence of both the children and residents, and it gives the residents a sense of purpose.
Christmas Party
Residents and staff celebrated Christmas with a day of party music and entertainment. The day started with “the Saxophone” lady entertaining us with variety of favourites in the morning. We than had a traditional Cockney Christmas sing-a-long in the afternoon with mulled wine, mince pies and of course, lots and lots of chocolates. A few residents enjoyed a dance while others wiggled in their chairs. It was a heart-warming experience for us all.
Shopping Trip Out
Two residents recently went on a trip to Tesco’s to buy all the baking ingredients needed for our next few baking club activities. These include Christmas cakes, gingerbread men and Christmas cupcakes.
Both ladies thoroughly enjoyed the morning having a good look around, especially at the flower stands and the Christmas chocolates.
Remembrance Day
Hilton Park held a Remembrance Day service for the residents, staff, relatives and friends. Children from the local school joined us to sing hymns, and three wreathes were laid by residents who served in the armed forces.
