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
Enjoying World Food Day
Residents at Marriott House and Lodge had a mouth-watering day as they marked World Food Day with a series of fun gastronomic activities.
Our staff and catering team cooked up a storm in the home’s kitchen as a stream of dishes old and new and from around the world were available for our residents to sample throughout the day. This brought up the opportunity for everybody to reminisce about their favourite childhood meals as well as those they love to cook.
One resident at the home remembered being served tripe and onions when she was younger, which got a mixed reception from those around her! A discussion also arose of the value of the land girls and boys throughout both World War I and World War II.
Tangmere Aviation Museum
We are thrilled to share this heart-warming fulfilment of a special wish for four of our gentlemen who wanted to visit the Tangmere Aviation Museum.
During the visit we all spent time looking at the aeroplanes and nostalgic items. We reminisced about spending time in air raid shelters overnight as children and the sound of the bombs dropping. It was emotional thinking about those experiences and sharing them with the carers with us.
Our specialist Dementia Champions
Ram and Wendy are our Dementia Champions at Marriott House and Lodge. They both support the teams to deliver person centred care to all residents. As Dementia Care champions they receive additional training from the Dementia Care Team and work closely with the dementia care specialists to ensure good dementia care is being maintained.
Resident's wishes come true
Resident, Audrey at Marriott House and Lodge had always wanted to be confirmed in a local church by a local Bishop to commit her life to following Jesus Christ. So staff at the home made her wish a reality.
The Kings Coronation
We had such a fantastic time celebrating the King's Coronation here at Marriott House. The residents and staff enjoyed the coverage, then indulged in a wonderful cream tea and entertainment.
Gardening Club!
Our Gardening club have been busy planting our strawberry plants and sowing seeds into the allotment. We cant wait to try the delicious food that comes out of their hard work.
