Activities at Marriott House and Lodge Care Home

Today some of our residents have started to create our vegetable garden.  We have planted tomatoes, carrots and broccoli. We cant wait to taste them and are hoping that our birds do not feast on our lovely fruits and vegetables.

A cheese and wine afternoon was a perfect way to spend an time in lockdown. We decided on the best pairing for a glass of wine - cheese and biscuits. We had various wines, soft drinks, and cheese boards available for all.

This will definitely become a regular social event at Marriott House and Lodge

As the better weather is currently  sporadic. The staff and residents at Marriott House and Lodge take the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful gardens .  A warm breeze and some sunshine is much appreciated after the long winter.

Marriott House and Lodge would like to say a massive thankyou for the amazing Easter cards we received from the local community.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Chichester Anna Chaplaincy for their beautiful Easter cards and presents. They were really appreciated and enjoyed by all

Marriott House run a bi-weekly poetry group for all residents that are interested in Poetry. Through-out the sessions staff and residents enjoying reading and writing poetry. Hopefully over the next few months we can produce our very own poetry book. 

Marriott House and Lodge in Chichester got ready for Easter by joining a virtual afternoon of chocolate-fuelled fun along with the staff and residents at over seventy Barchester care homes across the south of England, Jersey and the Isle of Wight.

The team and residents put on their best Easter bonnets and broke out the Easter eggs for an afternoon of fun activities culminating in the Barchester Big Easter Quiz when they linked up with all the other Barchester homes in the south of the country. When they weren’t quizzing, the residents enjoyed a feast of seasonal Easter dishes prepared by the home’s chef.

Lifestyle Lead, Sarah Harding said: “Now that we’re starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel following what has been a year like no other for our residents and staff, we wanted to ensure our Easter celebrations were an extra special treat.  ‘Meeting up’ with the other homes virtually has given everyone such a boost.  We’ve all had so much fun letting our hair down, everyone really enjoyed the afternoon.”

Everyone at the home is grateful for this lovely opportunity and would like to say a big thank you to Natasha Lazovic, Managing Director at Barchester, for organising this Easter quiz, enabling all homes across the south of England, Jersey and the Isle of Wight to celebrate together virtually.

Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
