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
Memorial Service
Marnel Lodge held a memorial service for our families who have lost love ones in the last year. We held a service to celebrate their lives with music and poems. A light tree was set up where we hanged hearts with residents' names on them.
Employee of the Month - October
Hari Mall Sen was nominated by her colleagues and residents because she works so hard to ensure that Marnel Lodge is clean and odour free.
Halloween Party
Residents and families joined us for an evening fun on Halloween. We all dressed up as you can see, and the residents enjoyed seeing the children in their costumes.
Cockney Afternoon
Residents, staff and residents dressed up as pearly kings and queens during our cockney afternoon. We all danced the afternoon away to My Old Man (Said Follow the Van).
Harpists at Marnel Lodge
On a lovely sunny afternoon, the residents of Marnel Lodge listened to a group of ladies playing harps. Then they joined us for afternoon tea and cake.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Marnel Lodge held a coffee morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. Families brought in cakes to sell and, in total, we managed to raise a grand total of £90.
