Activities at Marriott House and Lodge Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. 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.
Emma Sloan
Hello, my name is Emma. I have recently joined the Marriot House and Lodge Family as Lead Activity Coordinator, and I’m enjoying getting to know everyone.
My previous job was Activity Coordinator at Sage house, where my focus was to provide support and activities to customers and their families who were supporting someone living with dementia.
At Marriot House and Lodge, I look forward to developing sessions aimed at ensuring that the residents take part in the activities that bring out their individual personalities and engage in the activities they most enjoy and love, encouraging residents to engage in new group and individual fun-filled activities and events.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my three children. They keep me busy going to clubs at the weekend. I also qualified as a swimming instructor two years ago and love to swim in my spare time.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Marriott House and Lodge Care Home
Enjoying World Food Day
Residents at Marriott House and Lodge had a mouth-watering day as they marked World Food Day with a series of fun gastronomic activities.
Our staff and catering team cooked up a storm in the home’s kitchen as a stream of dishes old and new and from around the world were available for our residents to sample throughout the day. This brought up the opportunity for everybody to reminisce about their favourite childhood meals as well as those they love to cook.
One resident at the home remembered being served tripe and onions when she was younger, which got a mixed reception from those around her! A discussion also arose of the value of the land girls and boys throughout both World War I and World War II.
Tangmere Aviation Museum
We are thrilled to share this heart-warming fulfilment of a special wish for four of our gentlemen who wanted to visit the Tangmere Aviation Museum.
During the visit we all spent time looking at the aeroplanes and nostalgic items. We reminisced about spending time in air raid shelters overnight as children and the sound of the bombs dropping. It was emotional thinking about those experiences and sharing them with the carers with us.
Our specialist Dementia Champions
Ram and Wendy are our Dementia Champions at Marriott House and Lodge. They both support the teams to deliver person centred care to all residents. As Dementia Care champions they receive additional training from the Dementia Care Team and work closely with the dementia care specialists to ensure good dementia care is being maintained.
