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
Morwenna's wish
Wish Come True
Morwenna was over the moon when our activity team made her dream a reality. Jenny, one of our dedicated staff members, picked Morwenna’s wish from our wishing tree. Morwenna had wished to visit the Owl Sanctuary with her dear friend Monica, and recently, her wish came true.
Morwenna was deeply touched when the staff brought the owl close to her after Jenny had informed them of her special wish to see the owl show. Morwenna has always had a special fondness for owls.
A heartfelt thank you to Suffolk Owl Sanctuary for making Morwenna’s day so memorable. Well done to the Hilton Park team!
Jolly Boy's Outing
Enjoying the simple pleasures at Jesus Green Park! A delightful day with riverside strolls, feeding the ducks and pigeons, and a warm cup of drinks while watching the boats passing by. Dennis summed it up perfectly: 'It feels like I'm on a short holiday!' It was lovely to see our three gentlemen really enjoying their trip, reminiscing about their younger days and sharing their own stories.
Regular outings are just one aspect of our life enrichment program and all the trips we take are at the request of the residents. Our monthly activities calendar boasts a range of outings and entertainment.
The great cake bake-off
Yesterday was a very busy and thoroughly enjoyable day at Hilton Park.
Inspired by our recent pudding club, the residents spent the morning testing their culinary skills and baked their own cakes. We followed this with a lovely summery walk around our glorious grounds.
The real treat came in the afternoon however as the residents got to eat the cakes that they had spent the morning expertly making.
A good day all round, we would say!!!
A grand day out
We made the most of the glorious weather this weekend by taking our residents from the Churchill Community out on a day trip.
We started out by going to Anglesey Abbey and Gardens and then followed this up by visiting Lode Mill in Bottisham.
The residents had a great time and we very much look forward to the our next visit.
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.
