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

Activity Coordinator

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.

Harvest Festival Service

Harvest Festival Service at Hilton Park. We had a wonderful Harvest Festival service this morning, led by Martin, and we welcomed Reverend Max Osborne, the newly appointed vicar of Holy Trinity Church in Bottisham, to our community. It was such a joy to sing hymns, pray together, and enjoy conversations afterwards. A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers from the Anglesey Group of Parishes and to Reverend Max Osborne for dedicating their time to be with us.  We’re already looking forward to next month!

Grandparents Day Celebrations

What a delightful afternoon we had at Hilton Park celebrating Grandparents' Day! Residents, families, and guests were treated to a fantastic performance by our brilliant singer, Alex Southgate, with lots of audience participation. There was plenty of singing along, dancing, clapping, and waving – everyone had a wonderful time! A big thank you to our amazing kitchen team for the delicious refreshments, and to all the staff, especially the activities team and our lovely volunteer Emma, who took such great care of our residents, families, and guests.  Well done, Hilton Park team!

Inter-Generational Fun at Hilton Park

We had a great day of inter-generational fun yesterday at Hilton Park where we were joined by Boogie Babes Newmarket for a session of Music and Movement for all ages.
 The residents loved watching the children running around and couldn't wait to join in with singing the nursery rhymes and dancing with the Pom-Poms. They cannot wait until the next sessions on the 14th October.
 At Hilton Park we know that intergenerational activity is hugely beneficial to all involved as it encourages communication and social skills. Intergenerational contact also helps to develop language and reading confidence through shared activities, as well as increasing confidence and self-esteem. Lastly it helps children to develop empathy, care and kindness, helping them to understand and talk more positively about ageing and older people.

A very special coffee morning

Our Macmillan Coffee Morning was a wonderful success, filled with scrumptious treats and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us to support such a worthy cause, especially our lovely local WI members, families, and friends. Thanks to your generosity, we raised an amazing £102 through the raffle and donations. A special congratulations to Susan, who won the gorgeous hamper kindly donated by Tesco Community, and presented by our Home Advisor, Denis. It's all in aid of this fantastic cause together, we're making a real difference for those affected by cancer.

A heartfelt thank you to Monica for sharing Yinyang's love and joy with us!

Centennial's day out

We had the privilege of sharing a truly memorable journey with two of our oldest and dearest residents at Hilton Park, 105-year-old Marion and soon-to-be 105-year-old Dorothy, on a visit to Ely Cathedral . Both ladies were wonderfully chatty, with Marion's curiosity keeping Dorothy wide awake as she asked endless questions!They were full of energy and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the cathedral. It was such a special and heartwarming experience for them both.  Well done, Marion and Dorothy!
