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
Chef Michael serves up a treat
Yesterday, Geanina was delighted to introduce our new Head Chef, Michael.
Following our residents' meeting, residents and their families enjoyed a wonderful variety of food to taste . Everyone gave very positive feedback. Michael also handed out the new menu and took time to chat with our residents about the food they enjoy and any concerns they may have.
He received a very warm welcome and we are very pleased to have Michael with us at Hilton Park.
A Summer Picnic to remember
Another wonderful afternoon enjoyed by our lovely ladies! Our residents spent time at one of their favourite picnic spots – the beautiful Milton Country Park .
They soaked up the fresh air, sipped coffee, and watched the ducks and swans gracefully swimming by. Audrey has even added the outing to her diary, looking forward to returning soon with her daughter.
A truly delightful day filled with smiles and serenity.
Threads of Reminiscence
Today, Jenny spent time visiting our lovely residents in their rooms, sharing laughter and sweet moments of reminiscing. David said, “I don’t usually like bracelets, but if you make one in my favourite colour - orange, that would be brilliant!” And just like that, the conversation flowed.
It was lovely to see our residents thoughtfully choosing their favourite colours and doing their best to create something special.
Let the games begin......
We have been getting the competitive juices flowing with a game of lawn Bowls. Everyone had a go, got stuck in, and shared plenty of laughs!
Our competitive residents were on top form with some saying “We can’t roll the ball to save our lives", but they certainly proved themselves wrong.
Well done to everyone – fantastic effort and even better spirit!!
Flower Power at Hilton Park
We had a very enjoyable flower arranging activity over the weekend which brought colour to our home and sparked engaging conversations. It was a lovely opportunity for residents to express their creativity and enjoy time together.
We also made sure to take arrangements to residents who couldn’t join the session, so everyone could share in the joy.
A heartfelt thank you to Maria and Sally from Weyman Funeral Service for supporting our residents' wellbeing.
Sarah's maiden day-trip
Our lovely resident Sarah, who has been with us for a few years, joined us on a community outing for the very first time. Sarah has been invited on many trips in the past, but hadn’t felt ready - until today.
This morning, she approached one of our carers and asked if there was space to come along - and of course, we were absolutely thrilled to have her with us!
Sarah had a wonderful time exploring Primark, chatting with others, and enjoying every moment. She said with a big smile, “I had such a wonderful time – thank you so much!”
Everyone came home with big smiles. A huge well done to Sarah for taking this lovely step, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make today so special.
