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
A Coffee in the Sunshine
After a log time of rain, finally our lovely residents had a chance to catch some sun, and go for a quick coffee at local store. It was a fantastic afternoon. Especially when you have a resident who love to tell jokes. We are waiting for more sunny days.
A trip to Olivers for Fish and Chips
There is nothing better than fish and chips at Oliver's and our ladies really enjoyed our bus trip to Old Basing. We had a lovely lunch and a lot of fun. Our first trip there but not the last one. Thank you Oliver’s Restaurant for fantastic atmosphere.
Hari Celebrates 10 Years at Marnel Lodge
We had the pleasure of celebrating Hari's 10 years of service here at Marnel Lodge with a nice cake and reward from our company to recognise 10 Years of Service . Hari is a dedicated, hardworking, friendly and caring person. We all wished Hari congratulations and here's to another 10 years at Marnel Lodge.
Our very own violin concert
Residents enjoyed our new entertainer Lizz who played various different genres on the violin. Lizz interacted with the residents which they absolutely loved. We can't wait to have her back at the home, performing again!
Happy 100th Birthday Pamela!
Our lovely resident, Pamela, celebrated her 100th birthday in style. In cooperation with close relatives, our team organised a surprise party. Pamela was not aware and we all managed to keep it secret. Pamela was delighted to see close family. We have opened our first post card from King Charles III and his wife.
Christmas at Marnel Lodge
Christmas at Marnel Lodge always follows the magical traditions of kindness, happiness and celebrations. Throughout all of December we managed to get engaged in many ways including Christmas shows, parties, and feasts and of course decorating the home all over! Over 20,000 lights gave us warmth and happiness. There is no place like Marnel at Christmas!
