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.

National Nest Box Week
National Nest Box Week takes place each year from 14th - 21st February and, after more than 19 years, it is now an established part of the ornithological calendar.
National Nest Box Week aims to encourage everyone to put up nest boxes in their local area to promote and enhance biodiversity and conservation of our breeding birds and wildlife.
On Wednesday 21st February, we made and decorated bird boxes and bird feeders, which have been displayed in the garden for our very own ‘Spring Watch’.
