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
Dignity Action Day
Marriott House and Lodge supported Dignity Action Day on 1st February with a fun and all-inclusive community event.
We celebrated and raised awareness of the importance of delivering dignified care by inviting residents, relatives, staff and visitors to find out more about dignity in care.
Residents and staff made a tree in craft sessions and then asked residents, relatives and visitors to write on a leaf exactly what dignity means to them!
There was lots of discussion during a special afternoon digni-tea! We also asked people to sign up as ‘dignity champions’ as part of the National Dignity Council campaign.
Dignity Action Day is on the 1st February and is an annual opportunity for health and social care workers and members of the public to promote the needs to uphold people’s rights to dignity and provide a truly memorable day for people who use care services. You can find out more about becoming a dignity champion by visiting https://www.dignityincare.org.uk/register/.
January Birthday Celebrations
On Friday 19th January, we held our monthly birthday tea party for all those celebrating their birthdays in January. Mike Hammer entertained us with his musical talents and added to our collection of drawings that he produces whilst singing!
Everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' to those who were celebrating and then we all enjoyed tea and cake together!
Marriott Comes Alive
Folks at Marriott House & Lodge were delighted to be joined by Alive Activities on Thursday 4th January.
