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.

Variety Hour
These Variety Hour sessions include music, poetry, dance and movement. They provide 'non-obvious' exercise sessions (seated or unseated), using current affairs, literature and iPads to engage people and stimulate memories, discussions and fun.
Music for Health - March
Music for Health workshops are fun, stimulating and extremely varied - providing something for everyone. The music is changed from workshop to workshop, keeping the activity fresh.
Residents are encouraged to participate from the start - whilst allowing them to progress at their own speed.
This month’s session took place on the Wednesday 15th March.
