Activities at Marriott House and 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.

Life at Marriott House and Lodge Care Home
Wear it Pink Day
On 18th October 2024, Marriott House and Lodge vibrantly celebrated 'Wear it Pink Day' to honour Breast Cancer Awareness.
Residents and staff enthusiastically donned pink attire, transforming the facility into a sea of pink.
The day was filled with joyful activities, uniting in a colourful display of solidarity and commitment to raise awareness and support life-saving research and treatments for breast cancer.
The collective spirit and participation made it a memorable and meaningful day for everyone involved.
Barchester Care Awards
On 7th November 2024, Marriott House and Lodge held a special Care Awards ceremony to honour the exceptional dedication and hard work of their outstanding team members.
The Barchester Care Awards celebrate the staff who go the extra mile for the benefit of the 12,000 residents living in Barchester’s 248 care homes and private hospitals across the country.
Armistice Day
Marriott House and Lodge in Chichester commemorated Armistice Day by joining the rest of the United Kingdom in holding a two-minute silence at the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month.
Residents marked the day by wearing poppies, observing the national two-minute silence, participating in a Remembrance Day Sunday Church Service, making poppy displays, and listening to old wartime songs.
Birthday Celebrations, 105!
This week here at Marriott we celebrated our wonderful resident Muriel reaching her 105th birthday!
Muriel had a balloon arch which was donated from a local company and we had our favourite entertainer Ryan Mac in to help celebrate Muriel.
It was such a wonderful day and such a privilege to celebrate such a wonderful and monumental occasion!
Jamboree in the Garden
Our residents here at Marriott will always find time to sit out in our lovely gardens and enjoy whatever is left of the summer sunshine.
We decided to really celebrate the last of the summer sun with a little Jamboree, including maracas and other acoustic instruments.
Our residents had such fun in the sun and who knew such rhythm too!
Namaste
Our residents had the pleasure of taking part in armchair yoga with the wonderful Jennifer.
The session is designed specifically to allow for the benefits of yoga to be delivered and enjoyed for all of our residents who might not be as mobile as they once were.
Our residents really enjoy this session and we really welcome Jennifer to our home, as she brings such a warm energy and a deep sense of relaxation.
Yoga is a great way to de-stress, be in tune with your body and really work all the muscle groups - even in a chair!
And exhale.......
