Diana Tatpati
Hello, my name is Diana and I am General Manager for Marnel Lodge. Welcome to our Website!
I am privileged to have worked in Health and Social Care setting for over two decades in a variety of settings mainly with elderly and Dementia Specialist homes. Over the years I have learnt and developed my skills to listen to my residents, families and work alongside with other professionals to ensure our residents’ experience in their later years is much of what they have hoped for or even better.
At Marnel Lodge, we have a very friendly and dedicated team of staff who strive to ensure our residents are safe, feel at home, and enjoy life to the fullest.
My strength has been in ensuring our home facilitates a five-star lifestyle with a very person centred approach, which will be unique to each resident.
