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

Activities Coordinator

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.

Christmas Time at Marnel Lodge

Residents had a great time making a Christmas cake here at Marnel Lodge. They wanted to do a Christmas tree design this year. We are now enjoying eating it. Our Head Chef made the other cake, which residents love.

Father Christmas also came to visit all the residents at Marnel Lodge. He liked our lovely Christmas tree.

Here is Jim enjoying Christmas Day after a nice Christmas dinner.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
