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.

Fresh Fruits Friday
Friday is Hilton Park's favourite day! Today, we have been treated to well-presented fresh fruits. After indulging in loads of sweets over the past few weeks, we are enjoying fresh fruits today for all Hilton Park staff, not only for the day shift, but also for the night shift. Thank you Geanina and Barchester Healthcare.
Flower Arranging
Our delightful residents have thoroughly enjoyed the art of flower arranging using beautiful fresh blooms. Our experienced residents' ambassador Jacqui, shared some techniques on how to prolong the life of our flowers. This activity is greatly cherished by our residents and fosters creativity. Well done, everyone!
Bringing in the New Year
Today, we started our New Year's Day festivities with the wonderful entertainer, Kirsty. Her vibrant energy filled our afternoon, bringing joy to our residents and families as they sang along, clapped, and waved together. We had a lovely time indulging in delicious cheese and wine afterwards. What a delightful way to begin the New Year!
A visit to Sawston Church
Today, we had a very special trip to Sawston Church, not just for the church service but also for a large congregation where members brought their own food to share with everyone. Betty met many of her friends and neighbours at church. She was so pleased and somewhat emotional when she saw the Christmas stable display crafted by her late husband. Betty and her husband have been active members of the church for many decades, so taking Betty there to continue her life while living with us has had a significant impact on her. "It was a very lovely trip; thank you for taking me there. What a wonderful treat," said Betty.
Christmas Party
What a splendid Christmas party we had here at Hilton Park today! We were entertained by the wonderful Alex Southgate, with residents, staff, and family joining in. Our day began by delivering gifts to all our residents. This year, we decided to deliver our gifts with a Christmas sleigh, Bringing joy with sincere gifts. Seeing the delight on our residents' faces was truly precious. We wrapped up our Christmas day with a fantastic party. What a day! Thank you to everyone who joined us today, and a special thanks to all the staff at Hilton Park for your hard work in making everything happen.
