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
Music for Health
On Wednesday 16th March our monthly music for Health workshop was held!
Music for Health workshops are fun, stimulating and extremely varied, providing something for everyone. The music is changed from workshop to workshop keeping the attraction fresh.
Residents are encouraged to participate from the start - whilst allowing them to progress at their own speed.
The residents of Marriott House and lodge find this sessions fun and therapeutic as well as allowing them to take part in some gentle exercise!
Birthday Tea Party!
On Friday 18th March we held our monthly Birthday Tea Party for all residents celebrating their birthdays in March!
During this month’s birthday tea party, Vicky celebrated her 95th Birthday. A special tea party was held to coincide with Nutrition and Hydration week. The afternoon included musical entertainment and a special party!
