Activities at Marriott House and 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.

Life at Marriott House and Lodge Care Home
World Poetry Day
At Marriott House and Lodge we have been busy writing poetry and putting it all together for World Poetry Day on the 21st March 2016.
The residents of Marriott House and Lodge have been holding prose and poetry sessions, which have become increasingly popular.
In the lead up to world poetry day on Monday 21st March some lovely poetry has been written with the support of the activities team. These have all been placed in one book for world poetry day and the residents intend to continue to add to these throughout the year.
A resident from Marriott House said ‘I never thought I could write poetry but with Amy’s help it has been so much fun, these sessions are full of fun and laughter!’
Amy Hayler, Activities coordinator at Marriott House and Lodge care home said ‘Poetry has always been a love of mine so being able to share this with the residents is fantastic. I am so proud of our achievements and I am pleased that the residents find this as rewarding as I do.'
