Activities at Marnel Lodge 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.
Sarah Yarney
I have worked with the elderly for more than forty years in various roles, gaining varied knowledge and experience. I have been a relative at Marnel Lodge for ten years and worked as an admin assistant for a year and a half. I have now taken on the exciting role of Activities Coordinator at Marnel Lodge and I am looking forward to working with the residents, families and the Marnel team to start some new activities and adventures.

Life at Marnel Lodge Care Home
The Prince's Trust
The Prince's Trust came to visit Marnel Lodge recently. They made Easter cards with the residents and, afterwards, we all had homemade tea and cakes and did a quiz together. The winners won Easter eggs.
The Trust will be returning in July for a cream tea with residents in our lovely garden.
Emergency Services Visit
We decided that it would be nice to our appreciation of our local ambulance service by taking homemade cakes to them. We were welcomed warmly by the crew, and residents have decided to make cakes for them again in May.
Time for a Cuppa
We made lots of cakes and were joined by loves ones and members of the local community, who all helped us to raise £104.35 for Dementia UK.
Fashion Fun
We hosted a fashion show recently; residents, volunteers and staff all joined together to enjoy the event. Outfits from wedding seemed to be the theme of the day.
National Real Bread Week
Oh what fun we had making bread at Marnel Lodge. We prepared all sorts of bread and loved getting messy whilst doing it. Afterwards, residents had even more fun eating their creations.
In the Mood for Dancing
Marnel Lodge volunteers and friends did some line dancing, which everyone enjoyed very much!
