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
Hilton Park's got talent
It was time to get our artistic heads on yesterday as we had a painting and colouring afternoon at Hilton Park.
It never ceases to amaze us as to how creative our residents are and once again the talent within the room was there for all to see.
The Singing Gardener comes to Hilton Park
We had a lovely afternoon with our residents as we sang the afternoon away with The Singing Gardener - Amanda Scott. Amanda treated the residents to her full catalogue of classics.
We always enjoy having Amanda come to Hilton Park and we very much look forward to welcoming her back to Hilton Park in the very near future.
Animal Magic
Back by popular demand at Hilton Park was Michelle's Animal Therapy & Petting Party.
The residents absolutely love having cuddle time with the animals and we simply couldn't say no!!
There was a wide range of animals from the cute and furry to the long and scaly and everyone one of them made for an amazing experience for our residents.
We had the best afternoon and our doors will always be open for Michelle and the animals.
A glorious Summer's Day
We had an absolutely glorious day yesterday both in the home and also out in the community.
We started the day with our monthly coffee morning at the All Saints Church in Newmarket and then in the afternoon we made the most of the weather by having a game of Boules in the garden.
Another great day at Hilton Park.
Summer Fete 2024
It was Summer Fete time for Hilton Park at the weekend and whilst we did not have the weather to host the Fete in our stunning gardens, it did not stop us from having a wonderful time.
There was live singing and a brass band along with an authentic hot dog stand and plenty of ice cream to go around.
It was so good to see so many happy faces and we look forward to welcoming you all back to Hilton Park very soon.
And the winners are........
Very exciting news to come out of Hilton Park.
