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
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.

Life at Chater Lodge Care Home
Visiting friends at the Bowls Club
Joyce was a member of Ketton Bowls Club for many years before she moved to Chater Lodge. We like to take her back there sometimes to catch up with all her old friends and meet new members.
Happy Birthday, Caroline
Caroline had a great birthday with cards, chocolates, visitors and a big strawberries and cream cake.
Tea Dance
We loved dancing to the music of our regular entertain Steve Carmel.
Staying cool
What could be better than a strawberry split to help us stay cool on a lovely sunny day?
Enjoying a hot May day
At Chater Lodge the whole team takes responsibility for caring for residents and meeting all their needs. Today members of our Housekeeping Team took residents outside to make sure they got their vitamin D. Margaret and Joyce loved the sun on the hottest day of the year so far. Let's hope there are plenty more sunny days to come!
Forget-me-nots for Dementia Awareness
This week is Dementia Awareness Week and at Chater Lodge we have been making a display of forget-me-nots, the symbol of the Alzheimers Society. Margaret was keen to paint as many flowers as she could, using subtle shades of blue and purple.
