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.

Summer Fête
Holly Green from Meridian TV opened our Mary Poppins-themed summer fête. Our General Manager helped Holly with the cutting of the ribbon, and we all had fun making a big fuss of the visiting farm animals, dressing up, and waiting in anticipation to find out who claimed the raffle prize. We raised over £700 and all had such a lovely time!

On a very hot day, Birds of Freedom came to visit us at Marnel Lodge. The activities team made sure the birds visited every residents' room, and residents loved them so much that they'll be returning shortly.
