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.
Sarah Yarney
I have worked with the elderly for more than forty years in various roles, gaining varied knowledge and experience. I have been a relative at Marnel Lodge for ten years and worked as an admin assistant for a year and a half. I have now taken on the exciting role of Activities Coordinator at Marnel Lodge and I am looking forward to working with the residents, families and the Marnel team to start some new activities and adventures.

Life at Marnel Lodge Care Home
Friendship Day
We invited friends and family into Marnel Lodge for a cream tea. Our chef made 90 scones for us to eat, and they were lovely.
Miller's Ark
Memory Lane had a lovely afternoon when Miller's Ark came to visit. Pam enjoyed seeing the goats and Eileen loved seeing the chickens. A little pony went up into the Memory Lane community as well. Everyone had a great time and there were lots of smiling faces from both residents and staff.
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).
