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
International Nurses' Day
On 12th May, we celebrated a very important day: International Nurses' Day and their incredible effort in such a difficult time.
VE Day Celebrations
Our well-being and care team, as well as residents and at Marnel, have made such an incredible effort to celebrate VE Day. Marek and Maggie ensured that our residents had a plenty of engagement and activities to celebrate as. We also had a great indoor BBQ with drinks and fun.
Ship of Dreams
We all worked hard to recreate very famous ship: the Titanic. Joyce, our Resident & Well-being Assistant, supported the process of creation, from base to the end of the ship. It was a great fun!
Let's Hit the Road
After such a long wait, our residents and team went out for drive to enjoy spring in full. We stopped at Costa for fresh coffee and doughnuts. Time was flying and none of us realised we were out for hours.
Easter Celebration
Easter has brought great peace and happiness at Marnel. Resident, relatives and the team celebrated together in the most safe way. An egg hunt was fun too and we have used technology to project eggs to enhance Easter experiences. In return, we have enjoyed real chocolate.
Vaccine Day: Part 2
Our residents and team received the second dose of the vaccine. We are very thankful to our Local Chineham GP Practice for making this happen.
