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.

Macmillan Coffee Morning

Here at Chater, staff and residents got together for our Macmillan Coffee Morning, with staff and relatives bringing in scrumptious homemade cakes for us all to indulge in along with some tea and coffee. We all joined in with a quiz and the winner received some choccies. It was a lovely day and the residents all enjoyed themselves.

79th Birthday Celebrations

On the 13th September staff, residents and relatives all came along to celebrate Dorothy's 79th birthday. Staff presented Dorothy with a lovely bouquet of flowers and a cake made by the chef.

Happy birthday, Dorothy, from all at Chater Lodge!

Gavin Visits Again!

On 5th September, Gavin Burke came to visit Chater again - and he didn’t disappoint!

Residents, staff and relatives enjoyed singing and dancing along with him - it was such a great atmosphere!

He was highly entertaining and the residents are already asking when he'll be coming back.

Thanks, Gavin!

Employee of the Month - August

Our Kitchen Assistant, Margaret Dwyer, was named Employee of the Month for August.

Margaret was nominated for her hard work; when our dishwasher broke and staff had to step in to help, they realised just how difficult her job really is!

From all the staff and residents here at Chater Lodge: congratulations - it was well-deserved!

Garden Time

We had a great day in the garden, planting some pansies with the residents. They really enjoyed sitting in the sun and showing off their gardening skills - the end product was fabulous!
