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
10 Day Sport Challenge
Most of our residents joined in with the 10 Day Sport Challenge. All residents received a certificate with a box of chocolates as a reward for their accomplishments. It was great, healthy fun!
Indoor Gardening
With a little help from our Maintenance Manager Keith, we had a great surprise for our Resident Ambassador, Peter, who loves gardening and is currently maintaining a large outdoor garden: we created an indoor garden for Peter and other residents to grown their own fruits and veg all year round. It was great to see Peter so happy!
Chinese New Year Celebrations
Marnel Community celebrated Chinese New Year on 25th of January 2020. Our celebration started from one minute of silence to honour all people who lost their lives due to Coronavirus outbreak. Our Residents enjoyed festive time and of course great food. Celebration of Chinese New Year took place in our cinema room, which enabled us to watch live celebration from Beijing.
New Year's Day
Residents enjoyed celebrating New Year’s Day with musician Neal. There was lots of singing along and dancing!
CQC Celebration
Marnel Family was celebrating a GOOD result after passing a recent CQC inspection. Everyone enjoyed a party and team members received £100 vouchers in appreciation of their hard work.
Cards for the Children
Residents decided to make something different this year; they created big Christmas cards for all children at the local school. Well done to everyone who took part.
