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
An Afternoon of Master Classes
We opened our doors for an afternoon of master classes to show off what goes on in our home regularly. This photo is of our flower arranging master class.
Care Home Open Day Poem
Marriott House is a wonderful place,
The people are lovely and are full of grace.
For breakfast, lunch and even dinner
The food's rather great and our chef's a winner
Whilst living here I’ve had a ball
All previous problems feel relatively small
Especially with the kindness of staff
It’s easy to find that my worries are halved.
Throughout the day, we keep ourselves busy
Which always stops us from getting in a tizzy
We sometimes write poetry or read a book
If you don’t believe us come and have a look!
Written by Margaret Strain and Kevin Card
Foundation Week at Marriott House & Lodge
Marriott House and Lodge have been celebrating Foundation Week (13th to 18th June) with a Barchy Bear Bake Off and Big Breakfast for residents, families, friends and staff to take part in.
On Tuesday 14th June, staff were challenged to bake a cake to enter into the Barchester's Big Bake off, to raise money for the Barchester Foundation. The competition was extremely high with a variety of amazing recipes and designs. Each cake was judged by a panel of judges, prizes were awarded and everyone then enjoyed the cakes with their afternoon tea.
