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
Easter Egg Hunt and Magic Show
Over 30 children from local schools, nurseries and playgroups joined our residents and their families in our beautiful gardens for the Hilton Park Easter Egg Hunt. It was one of the warmest days of the year and we are pleased to report that every delicious chocolate egg was found! The afternoon was topped off by a spectacular Magic Show which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended this exceedingly popular annual event at Hilton Park.
Up, up and away!
What better way to celebrate an 100th Birthday than to take a trip to the base and meet the crew of the East Anglian Air Ambulance! The special treat was arranged by Barbara McGee of the East Anglian Air Ambulance and Dan Amis, our Home Services Advisor here at Hilton Park to celebrate Dr Cynthia Phillips's 100th year. Cynthia and her daughter Helen thoroughly enjoyed the day exploring the base and meeting the crew. Dr Cynthia said, "It was fascinating to see how far things have come and we both had an incredible day. I will never forget this visit!"
Chicks hatch at Hilton Park!
There was a lot of egg-citement at Hilton Park as 9 chicks hatched throughout the week during the run up to our Easter celebrations.
Residents were able to pet and feed the chicks as they found their footing in their new home. The new additions were also visited by students from the Bottisham Primary School and Cartlodge Playgroup who stopped by to meet our residents and the new arrivals!
General Manager Narcis Militaru said: “It was an eggs-cellent day when the eggs finally hatched and it was great to have the children come to visit us; our residents loved every minute! To receive thank you letters from the children too was extremely kind and hugely appreciated by all of the team and residents here at Hilton Park."
Special Mother's Day Breakfast goes down a treat at Hilton Park
Anna from our Activities team was on hand at Hilton Park to greet residents, families and guests to a delicious Mothering Sunday Bucks Fizz Breakfast in our beautiful Trinity Dining Room. Everyone loved the tasty Pastries too! What better way to say thank you to all those special ladies for everything that they do!

Smoothies! Mmmmmm!
To celebrate Nutrition and Hydration Week residents at Hilton Park enjoyed a variety of different tasty healthy smoothies.
Some were loved and some tasted like Cold Soup! However, not a drop was left and our residents had lots of fun. Needless to say, some of the feedback had everyone in hysterics!
Now, the challenge is on to make our own recipes and see what creations our Smoothie connoisseurs come up with!
