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
An alternative day out
Plans don’t always go as expected but sometimes, that turns out to be a blessing in disguise. We had planned to visit Darwin Farm yesterday, but unfortunately, the farm was closed. Still, we shared a good laugh and started thinking about where else we could go.
We decided on a spontaneous visit to Bury Lane Farm Shop , and what a lovely choice it was! The sun was shining, and the weather couldn’t have been better. We explored the beautiful flower farm, enjoyed a peaceful, scenic walk, and then sat down for some refreshments while watching the train pass by.
It turned into a truly wonderful and unexpected trip – filled with laughter, nature, and relaxation. Sometimes the best memories come from the unplanned moments!
Dementia Action Week
Today, our residents took part in colouring Forget-Me-Not flowers - a meaningful and creative way to show support for those affected by dementia.
As well as raising awareness, this relaxing activity helps stimulate hand–eye coordination, support cognitive function, and encourage focus and calm.
All the beautiful artwork has been proudly displayed here in our home, and our residents were delighted to see their efforts celebrated.
A truly special start to the week, coming together for such an important cause.
Elvis is in the building!!!
A huge thank you to Peter, our fantastic Elvis impersonator, who serenaded our residents with all the classic favourites.
His performance brought so much joy, with plenty of singing, smiling, and even a bit of dancing.
Thank you for entertaining both our residents and their families, it was such a joyful afternoon and we very much look forward to seeing you again at Hilton Park very soon.
A busy week at Hilton Park
We’ve had a lovely variety of activities this week!
On Wednesday, we enjoyed our Morning Prayer, beautifully led by volunteers from the local villages.
Today, we kept ourselves busy with individual colouring sessions, some energetic balloon games, a friendly chat over coffee, and wrapped up with a cheerful round of bingo – what a fun day it’s been!
Tomorrow, we’re looking forward to our afternoon quiz – hope to see you all there!
Hilton Park's Ice Bucket Challenge
Our amazing Home Services Advisor, Denis, took on the Ice Bucket Challenge today after being nominated by our sister home, Oaklands Care Home.
Cheered on by our lovely residents and staff, Denis braved the cold in support of raising awareness for Mental Health – well done, Denis!
We have now passed the challenge over to our sister homes Pinetree Care Home, Bayleaf Care Home and Iris Court Care Home.
Let’s keep the momentum going!
