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
Missie Mesmerises
We were very lucky to have a special visit from ‘Missie’ in December. She was much-loved by everyone who met her and we hope she will visit again in the future.
Pimp My Zimmer Frame
A recent craze has been sweeping across care homes that involves residents decorating their own walking sticks, zimmer frames and wheelchairs. Research has shown that brightly coloured individualised walking aids are more recognisable to individuals and can help reduce the risk of falls. These are some that we have already decorated and we will be working with residents to decorate even more!
