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
Wild Science
On Wednesday 3rd January, residents, staff and visitors gathered in the lounge and met an array of animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, hedgehogs and many other furry creations. This type of animal therapy is ideal for individuals who may be less mobile and can benefit from a unique experience.
Christmas Day
Residents, visitors and staff joined together on Christmas Day for lots of fun activities.
Christmas Party
This year's Christmas party took place on Thursday 21st December. The evening included live entertainment and a delicious buffet.
Santa's Grotto
We decided to design our own Santa's Grotto again this Christmas. It was built by staff from all departments and enjoyed by all who visited it.
Christmas Cake Competition
We decided to enter the Barchester Christmas Cake Competition. Relief Chef, Anna, and Care Practitioner, Mandy, made an amazing cake together!
Residents were keen to enter the competition as well, so Elaine helped them to design, make and decorate their own. The end result not only looked amazing, but it tasted amazing too.
Baking Group
Residents at Marriott House & Lodge love to bake and look forward to Thursdays, which is when Hilda hosts the Baking Group. Most recently, they made mince pies, which were delicious.
