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.

Farmyard Fun

Farm animals came to Marnel Lodge and brought the sun along with them. Everyone enjoyed spending time with these beautiful creatures! The Daisy Chain children also came up to visit and loved seeing all the animals as well.

Daisy Chain Children

The Daisy Chain children came to visit us at Marnel Lodge recently. They drew pictures of residents and then we ended they day with a singing session. After all the hard work, we had tea and orange juice all round.
