Activities at Chater Lodge Care Home

We’ve linked up with all Barchester care homes and hospitals up and down the country for some interactive Beat the Clock games. 

Our residents truly enjoyed solving word puzzles, conundrums and mathematical problems as part of Barchester’s very own game show series. 

We all had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition. 

A big thank you to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for the fantastic live virtual event today!

Residents across our services loved seeing the seals up close and learning about the incredible work the sanctuary does to protect them and other wildlife in Cornwall as well.

Everyone truly enjoyed the experience. 

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, where stress and responsibilities frequently take centre stage, dedicating time for self-care is essential. The benefits of pampering yourself extend beyond mere relaxation, encompassing improvements in physical, mental, and emotional health. One of the most significant advantages of self-pampering is its ability to reduce stress.

Residents were treated to facials and massages , the hairdresser visited which helped relieve aches and pains as well as replenish key vitamins and proteins in the skins barrier that help fight the signs of aging, A wonderful day of relaxation was had by all.

International dog day is celebrated annually on August 26th, it honours our four-legged companions and their invaluable contributions to society.

Yee Haw Cowboys and girl’s !

We had a sensational themed day together. In the morning we loved having locals join us for our coffee morning listening to Dolly Parton and wearing cowboy hats. We were thrilled that several of Age concern ladies and gents joined us for coffee and cake.

In the afternoon our themed fun continued with live musical entertainment from the amazing KJ & The Cat.

We took to the dance floor in our cowboy boots and were singing and clapping along. Tony, head of Maintenance, was superb on the mic!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us especially the staff for making it a day to remember!
