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
Employee of the Month - September
Les has worked exceptionally hard to turn our gardens round this year and due to these efforts we were named as a divisional winner in the 'Resident Garden of the Year' category for Barchester in Bloom.
Farmyard Fun
Farm animals came to Marnel Lodge and brought the sun along with them. Everyone enjoyed spending time with these beautiful creatures! The Daisy Chain children also came up to visit and loved seeing all the animals as well.
Daisy Chain Children
The Daisy Chain children came to visit us at Marnel Lodge recently. They drew pictures of residents and then we ended they day with a singing session. After all the hard work, we had tea and orange juice all round.
Barchester in Bloom 2017
Peter, a resident at Marnel Lodge, was named as a divisional winner in the 2017 Barchester in Bloom competition. Well done, Peter!
The Harvesters
Head Chef, Chris, has been harvesting our garden vegetables with the help of residents and carers. They have been having lots of fun!
Inside Picnic
Our Memory Lane communities were due to go on a picnic, but the heavens opened up, so we all decided that we would hold our picnic downstairs. We had dancing and party games and lovely food. Family members joined us too.
