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.

Wear it Red
On Friday 5th February, Marriott House and Lodge was awash with crimson, scarlet and vermilion to raise awareness for the British Heart Foundation. We held a ‘Wear Red Day’ to pledge our support. Many residents chose to join the staff in the themed activities. Theresa Shell, General Manager said ‘it was lovely to see so many staff and residents dressed in red to support the British Heart Foundation.' The home has raised £25 for the British Heart Foundation.
