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.

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

A moment of pure joy

Yesterday, we took Jane to another care home where her identical twin lives. The moment they heard each other's voices, you could see the joy on their faces. They kissed, hugged, held hands, and played their favourite game - throwing the ball.

Their actions spoke louder than words, filling the room with warmth and happiness. Seeing them together was truly heart-warming and brought so much comfort and joy to everyone around them.

Simply beautiful.

The Boogie-Babes are back at Hilton Park

Back by (very) popular demand!!

The residents at Hilton Park love nothing more than seeing the happy cheery faces of the children when the Boogie Babes come to play at Hilton Park

The residents absolutely loved the interactions with the little children and joined in with all of the nursery rhymes and other songs.

These sessions have become and much loved and highly anticipated part of our regular schedule at Hilton Park and we are already looking forward to seeing everybody again next month!!

A Spring walk along the River Cam

Another delightful outing with our lovely ladies! Anne and Joyce had a wonderful time, reminiscing as we strolled along the River Cam in Cambridge. We watched the world go by - ducks and swans gliding gracefully on the water, people punting along the river, and laughter filling the air. The tempting scent of barbecues drifted from nearby groups, and, of course, there was ice cream to enjoy. Anne smiled and said, "Thank you so much for taking me out - it was absolutely wonderful!" She especially loved her ice lolly, a perfect treat for a perfect day.

Peter's wish to fish comes true

Peter’s wish to go fishing again has finally come true! Thanks to the incredible support of the activities team, fellow residents - especially Richard - and the wonderful volunteers from the Waterbeach Angling Club , today was a truly special day. Today, Peter was able to hold a fishing rod once more. While being in a wheelchair made fishing a challenge, the joy on his face said it all. Meanwhile, other residents relaxed nearby, enjoying a lovely picnic, knitting, and soaking up the peaceful atmosphere - simple pleasures that made the day even more delightful. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who made today possible, especially Collin for setting up the picnic table. Your kindness and effort mean the world to us - you are all truly amazing!
