Care Home in Basingstoke | Marnel Lodge

Marnel Lodge are delighted to have received an overall 'Good' rating in a our latest CQC inspection report.

We are proud to be one of the first homes to be accredited as part of Barchester’s 10-60-06 Dementia Care programme, reflecting the enhanced quality of dementia care and improved quality of life experienced by residents here at Marnel Lodge.

Marnel Lodge delivers nursing and residential care services as well as expert dementia care in one of Barchester's dedicated Memory Lane Communities. In addition, the home has the facilities to care for younger people with physical disabilities.

Marnel Lodge is designed to give a home-like feel with carefully chosen interior decoration and furnishings, easily accessible, well-maintained gardens and first floor terraces, which offer terrific uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. Throughout the home there is a range of communal and dining facilities to suit people who enjoy socialising as well as those who prefer quieter activities.

The Memory Lane Community at Marnel Lodge is specially designed for people living with dementia, using colour schemes that help residents to identify areas within the home. The community also features a life skills kitchen, where residents can be involved in everyday kitchen activities such as baking and setting the table.

We are always happy to receive visitors or to be contacted if we might be able to help.

It is important that our staff are able to build good relationships with residents, and are seen as approachable and always willing to have a chat.

Sue Monger

General Manager

I started my career initially working locally as a Care Assistant for a residential home and also Social services. I completed my General Nurse training and then progressed to complete my Mental health Nurse training. Following a time on a rehabilitation ward I progressed to work as a Senior Sister and I met some fantastic people who have inspired and impacted on my life.

Following the birth of my first child Danielle, I returned to the hospital to complete my maternity period. During this year there was the Government initiative of resettlement of patients from the local hospital into the local community. As a result I worked as a Project Manager for a small residential Home in Tadley, before it was unfortunately closed.

I was fortunate to secure a position as a Home Manager at a home in Basingstoke. This stimulated my interest in people with Dementia and the importance of the care that they received.

I remained with the company for 16 years being promoted to Area Manager and later Training Manager. I attended David Sheards Course on Dementia that stimulated my passion in caring for people with Dementia.

In April 2013 I left and was appointed as Manager of a Private Nursing Home in Twyford where I remained until May 2014.

I am looking forward to Working with passionate and like minded people who are inspired by delivering good care. Barchester also have an excellent reputation as an employer and are often leading the way in new and exciting projects.

What people say about us

"We are really pleased with Marnel Lodge and any problems we might have are due to my mother's inability to feed herself properly whilst refusing any help.
As a result, she spills a lot of drinks on herself and in her room and the dining room.
The staff are amazing, kind and caring."

"My mother has then up residence as an end of life nursed resident - cannot fault the attention afforded my seriously ill mother from the moment she arrived. Staff are polite, friendly and very caring in all aspects of her care. The home is also very supportive to relatives of residents, and that matters."

"My mother needed to go into Marnel Lodge for respite care. Both she and the family were very apprehensive, particularly in viewing adverse press about other homes. What we found was a bright, clean friendly home where the staff actually do care. The residents retreated with so much respect by staff whose friendliness combined with professionalism is superb and staff wanting to do the job - not just a wage. Should the time come when mum needs permanent care, we have all said we will hold out for a place at Marnel Lodge, such is the standard of all-round care."
