Activities at Chater Lodge Care Home

We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Maria Durrant

Activities Coordinator

Hello. I am Maria and I have lived in Ketton for most of my life. I worked at the local primary school before joining Chater Lodge in 2019. My first role here was as a Dining Host and have now found my passion in creating an interesting and inclusive programme of activities for all our residents. I like having fun with residents, dressing up, singing songs and celebrating special events. I love being a part of the team here and my career change to Activities Coordinator is the best thing I have ever done.

Pamper Time

A whole home approach at Chater Lodge. George is a very proud gentleman and takes great pride in his appearance, George likes the gentle hands of our home manager Zoe for his weekly wet shave. George is able to keep himself shaved with his electric shaver but does enjoy his weekly engagement with Zoe, they engage in great conversation and George goes away feeling and smelling wonderful.

A brush with the law

Residents from Chater Lodge enjoyed a visit to the Ketton Community Hub where they enjoyed a cup of coffee and were delighted to meet Ikra, the local Police Community Support Officer. We even got to sit in a police car.
