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
Easter Bingo
Residents at Marriott House and Lodge really enjoy bingo sessions; we held a special Easter bingo game during the Easter weekend with some extra special prizes!
Easter Poetry
In the leader up to Easter, residents enjoyed writing some Easter-themed poetry.
Easter
Easter is here; it’s coming our way,
we’re getting everything ready for Easter Sunday.
Hanging decorations, hiding all the sweets,
Making Easter bonnets and roasting up meats.
Whilst tending to the garden, avoiding the April showers,
I pick myself some daffodils and other lovely flowers.
And after all the hard work is done,
I reward myself with a hot cross Bun!
Easter Bunny
Here I am - the Easter Bunny,
With floppy ears and fur the colour of honey,
Getting the eggs ready for the children to find,
Then scouting out a tuft of grass for me to hide behind!
Easter Cake Competition
Marriott House and Lodge are always keen to be part of a competition. Residents designed and made their own cakes with the help of the activities team. Once they were finished, they were sliced up and enjoyed with afternoon tea over the Easter weekend.
Mystery Tour
On the 11th April we went for a trip around the local area in our minibus. We had a brief stop at Goodwood for tea, coffee and biscuits, then continued our journey, visiting a variety of places on the way.
Three Cheers for Care Home Volunteers
A group of volunteers have been recognised for their hard work and dedication. Volunteers were invited to a special afternoon so that we were able to give them a big thank you on Volunteer Recognition Day.
Each Volunteer was presented with a handmade gift and card to show them how much everyone at Marriott House and Lodge appreciates the time they give.
The volunteers participate in a variety of activities with residents in the home, including weekly news discussions, group activities and one-to-one time with individual residents.
Cedar Ministry Service
Marriott House and Lodge continues to have monthly visits from Cedar Ministry. These services are always well attended by residents and visitors.
Cedar Ministry began visiting the home on the first Sunday of every month back in 2012. They are a team from Chichester Baptist Church who visit local care homes in the Chichester area. It is their aim to share God's love and serve people in local care homes.
For more information about Cedar Ministry, please contact Guy Applebee at Chichester Baptist Church on 01243 782585 or via info@chichesterbaptist.org.uk.
