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.

Fruity Friday: April 2017
At Marriott House and Lodge, we hold a Fruity Friday event every month. Staff and residents dress in bright clothing and a fruit-themed activity is organised.
This month’s event took place on Friday 7th February and included an afternoon of fruit tasting. There was also a chocolate fountain to dip chocolate in. The whole afternoon was enjoyed by many residents, staff and visitors.

Zoo Lab
On Friday 31st March, residents, staff and visitors came together for a hands-on experience with Zoo Lab. Many different animals were brought in for us to see, from the dreaded spiders and snakes to frogs, toads, millipedes, a giant African snail and an emperor scorpion that glows when exposed to ultra violet light! Residents learned something new about each animal, including where they came from, how they live and how long their lifespans are. It was an interesting and enjoyable morning.
Community Wordgames
On Wednesday 29th March, the community was invited to join the residents of Marriott House and Lodge for some word games. These included anagrams, hangman, Countdown and much more. This is one of the regular community afternoons that we hold.
Mother's Day
Mother’s Day was celebrated with small gift boxes that were given to all the ladies. There was also a special themed quiz and film afternoon.
Cedar Ministry came into the home to hand out flowers to all the ladies! The residents were so grateful and we would like to extend our thanks to them.
Bulb & Seed Planting
During March the residents of Marriott House were busy planting summer bulbs and seeds. These are now in the greenhouse and we will be watching them closely as they grow!
