Activities at Chater Lodge Care Home

The home was full of animal mischief when a group of baby lambs came to visit the home.  Residents were pleasantly surprised to see their new furry friends roaming around their garden as Phoenix Children's Charity paid a visit.

General Manager Zoe said: “Our residents have really enjoyed their unusual visitors today. We knew that having the lambs here would be a bit of fun for all our residents, especially as some find it difficult to go on many outings in our minibus. We are always looking for new activities for the residents and today we have seen the enjoyment and the therapeutic influence animals can have on people.”
 

Residents at the home enjoyed a delightful evening outing to the Collyweston Slater Pub, kindly invited by the owner, Amie. The residents savoured a selection of beverages and snacks, chatted with the locals, and reminisced about their own trips to the same pub when they were younger.

Embracing the community spirit, the hospitality team at the pub led by head chef, Fabio had a selection of snacks for the homes residents to enjoy alongside their refreshing beverages.
 

Red Nose Day sparked joy across the home, infusing silliness and fun into residents' days! With karaoke, and party dances, from music man to the birdie song.

The staff dressed in red, residents donned red noses, and together they indulged in a fresh fruit platter, delicious sausage rolls and Red Nose Day themed cakes, blending celebration with Nutrition and Hydration Week. 

Residents and staff at Chater Lodge Care Home in Ketton, Stamford, recently enjoyed their very own Crufts-inspired competition. The residents had a wonderful time voting for their favourite dogs, awarding first, second, and third places.

Julia Durrant, a past Crufts’s winner, brought in her dogs Gibson and Willow. Donna brought in Whisper, Jackie brought in Archie, and Emily brought in Arthur, Albert, and Alice. The residents were delighted to watch these lovely dogs in action. A huge thank you to everyone for entertaining our wonderful residents.

The staff and residents at the home have been mixing up batter and flipping pancakes all morning in preparation for their annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Day celebrations.

Marcin Szpak, chef at the home, flipped more than 100 pancakes, serving them up with sweet and savoury fillings for all the eager staff and residents. 
 

Our home was delighted to receive a cheque from the Round Table Stamford 611 for £500 for the home to install a water feature in our grounds for the residents to enjoy in the summertime.

The care home welcomed James Wright Chairman of the Stamford Round Table and Stewart Humm to the home for a coffee morning with our residents and enjoy a selection of sweet treats and refreshments with our residents during the cheque presentation.
