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
Tipple at Twelve
Marriott House and Lodge Residents and visitors can enjoy a ‘Tipple at Twelve’ every day. This is an opportunity to enjoy a glass of sherry, fruit cocktail or anything else they may fancy with others before lunch.
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’.
Community Bingo
Marriott House and Lodge continues to hold monthly community bingo sessions. Our most recent one took place on Wednesday 28th February.
Everyone is welcome to join us for this event. There are prizes to be won and refreshments will be served during the afternoon.
St David's Day
On 1st March, we celebrated St David’s Day by decorating the home and enjoying a themed quiz afternoon, whilst indulging in some Welsh cakes.
Goodbye & Good Luck!
After almost 20 years of continuous service at Marriott House &Lodge, much-loved Hairdresser, Linda Thwaites, has decided to retire!
Staff and residents at the home sent Linda off with a bouquet of flowers. Everyone at the home has very fond memories of Linda and she will be sadly missed.
During her time at the home Linda has helped all the residents' hairdressing needs. Nothing has ever been too much trouble for her!
Valentine's Day
In the lead up to Valentine's Day, the residents helped the activities team to decorate the home with lots of love hearts.
On Wednesday 14th February, we started our day of activities with a Valentines' Day bingo session. The afternoon started with a special Music for Health session, which included quizzes, music, singing and much more!
We then finished the day with some chocolate tasting along with afternoon tea!
