Activities at Marnel 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.
Marek Manteufel & Theresa Connor
We both joined Marnel a while ago and we are very excited to be part of such a proactive and dedicated team. There are lots of ideas and innovations, all to enhance quality of life of our residents. Every day is different and to understand the needs of our residents, building relationship with them and keeping in touch with their families and friends, is the most important and rewarding job we could have wish for.

Life at Marnel Lodge Care Home
World Chocolate Day
On Tuesday 7th July, we celebrated World Chocolate Day by testing a variety of different makes and flavours. It was a very enjoyable day full off happiness and sweetness, of course.
Community Together
Our local community support group never rests and is always ready to help others. Our team received fantastic gifts from our support networks. It’s so encouraging to know that people care for others in such a difficult time. True friends in need are friends indeed.
Father's Day
For the very first time since lockdown begun, our lovely relatives could reunite with their dads. It was a very special day for everybody and made such a big difference to the well-being of all. We ensured that current guidance of safety and social distancing was followed. We are all pleased with such a positive outcome! Happy Father’s Day to all our dads in Marnel.
National Beer Day
Residents enjoyed National Beer Day. There were a variety of beers, lagers and ales to please our ladies and gentleman. It was a great day outdoor with plenty of fun and happiness.
International Day of Angels
This year our angels were truly delighted with the big fuss we made. Our lovely nurses enjoyed pizza, doughnuts and our specially made wall of fame. Despite difficulties associated with COVID-19, our angels are always here to help others. Thank you for all your amazing dedication!
VE Day Celebrations
We have celebrated VE-Day in very special way. We have created our very own Mar(IV)el comic book. It was a very fun day with lots of games, as well as plenty of reminiscence. The BBQ was a must!
