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.

Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Marriott House and Lodge Care Home
Variety Hour
These Variety Hour sessions include music, poetry, dance and movement. They provide non-obvious exercises (seated or unseated) using current affairs, literature and iPads to engage residents and stimulate memories, discussions and fun. February's session took place on the Thursday 16th.
February's Birthday Tea
February's birthday tea was held on Friday 17th. Residents and visitors were entertained by Mitchell Armstrong before special refreshments were served to celebrate all residents' birthdays during the month.
National Bird Box Week
Residents of Marriott House and Lodge love watching the birds in the garden. We were keen to participate in National Bird Box Week (14th - 21st February), so we decided to make sure that the bird boxes and tables were ready in the garden for the birds to nest in. Within the home, residents were assisted by the activities team to make fat balls and other things that can go into the garden to feed the birds.
Balloon Tennis
Residents love playing balloon tennis at Marriott House. This not only encourages gentle exercise and socialising, but always results in lots of laughter as well.
A Game of Dominoes
Dominoes is just one of the regular activities that residents of Marriott House & Lodge enjoy on a regular basis. We have both normal dominoes and giant dominoes, for those who struggle to see.
Valentine's Day
In the lead up to Valentine’s Day, residents were busy making decorations and cards for loved ones.
They also wrote a poem, which can be seen below:
