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
VE Day preparations
We started our busy day here at Hilton Park, preparing for the biggest event next week, our very special VE Day garden party.
Our residents were so dedicated, helping our activities team with their arts and crafts session this afternoon.
We followed this by taking a well earned breath of fresh air in our glorious gardens afterwards before coming back in for coffee and cake.
Happy St Georges Day
We had a wonderful time celebrating with a special singalong, led by the lovely Cara just before lunch. She sang a selection of classic songs that brought back so many happy memories.
There were smiles all around as everyone joined in singing, dancing in their chairs, and proudly waving their flags. It was such a joyful atmosphere!
A big thank you to Cara for giving us such a heartwarming morning. It truly was a delightful celebration!
And now for something different.......
Residents were absolutely delighted as Tracey wowed everyone with her amazing balloon-shaping skills – all while singing beautifully! She cleverly created balloon shapes based on the songs she was singing.
Her voice was truly stunning, and she kept everyone engaged, encouraging them to guess what shapes she was making.
The residents said it was absolutely wonderful – something new and exciting that brought so much joy. They all had a marvellous time!
Easter joy and springtime smiles at Hilton Park
We enjoyed a truly lovely Easter celebration with our residents, families, and guests from our sister's home, Oaklands Care Home.
The children had a fantastic time hunting for Easter eggs, and everyone loved the visit from a charming bunnies, kindly arranged by Weyman Funeral Service — along with tasty hot cross buns and chocolates for all to enjoy.
We were also delighted to welcome some real cuddly visitors from Michelle's Animal Therapy & Petting Party , who brought plenty of smiles and special moments.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so enjoyable!
A Blooming lovely day
Our residents had a fantastic time during today’s Easter flower arranging session, thanks to the wonderful team from Weyman Funeral Service . Sally and Melissa arrived with armfuls of fresh, colourful blooms and everything needed to get creative – and our residents absolutely loved it.
There were smiles all around as everyone enjoyed making their own beautiful floral creations. We also brought the joy to those in their rooms, with one-to-one arrangements – some even relaxed and watched as Jenny made a special one just for them to keep.
A heartfelt thank you to Sally and Melissa for such a joyful and meaningful day – we can’t wait to welcome you back again soon!
A day out in the Community
Today, we enjoyed a lovely day out in our local community.
In the morning, we visited our friends at All Saints in Newmarket for our senior coffee morning, where our residents had a delightful time chatting over coffee and singing along to some familiar tunes.
In the afternoon, we headed to Tesco in Milton for a bit of shopping. We were pleased to receive a generous donation from the Community Champion, which will be added to our residents’ bingo prize collection.
It was a truly enjoyable day, filled with smiles, great conversations, and the joy of being out and about.
