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.

Musical Magic
Music for Health workshops are fun, stimulating and extremely varied – providing something for everyone. The music varies from workshop to workshop, keeping the event fresh, and residents are encouraged to participate from the start and progress at their own speed.
Music for the Mind
On Tuesday 21st August, we welcomed Becki Short, who hosted yet another 'Music for the Mind' workshop. Developed in partnership with Home Instead Havant, Music for the Mind is a programme designed specifically for those living with dementia and memory problems, but others can take part as well. Becki provided an hour of musical stimulation through gentle warm ups and stretches, familiar songs and musical instruments.
