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.

World Food Day
On Monday 16th October 2017, Marriott House and Lodge celebrated World Food Day.
The afternoon was dedicated to tasting different foods from around the world. These included foods from the Caribbean, various European countries and the United Kingdom. The afternoon provoked lots of conversation about the various countries between all involved.
Old & New Friends Club
After seeing the recent Channel 4 programme, ‘Old People's Home for 4 Year Olds’, we were approached by Parklands School and invited to join them for intergenerational activities. The programme highlighted the positive effects on the young and old.
Marriott House and Parklands School have started an 'Old & New Friends Club', which has now been running for four weeks – and what an exciting time we’ve had!
We made a video about our most recent video, which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRuvui9oh5o&feature=youtu.be.
Music for Health - September
Music for Health workshops are fun, stimulating and extremely varied, providing something for everyone.
The music differs from workshop to workshop, keeping the event fresh.
Residents are encouraged to participate from the start and progress at their own speed.
Our most recent session took place on Wednesday 27th September.
