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
Barchester's 25th Anniversary
Marnel Lodge celebrated Barchester's 25th Anniversary with a crazy hat day. The winner was May, with her lovely butterfly hat.
Congratulations, Bimala!
Congratulations to Bimala Tamang Lama on her graduation from Anglia Ruskin University; she obtained a Masters in Business Administration. Well done from all at Marnel Lodge!
Memorial Service
We held a Memorial Service here at Marnel Lodge and invited the families of residents who have passed away back for a short service. Families were asked to place hearts which contained the names of their loved ones on our light tree in honour of their memory.
Dress up day at Marnel Lodge
We recently had a wonderful day dressing up in 1940s and 50s outfits. Staff and residents switched their usual attire for clothes from the post World War 2 era. We also had a good old sing song on Memory Lane during the day with music from Tracey.
