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
Going back in time for Care Home Open Day
For Care Home Open Day at Chater Lodge, our theme was the 50s and 60s; we enjoyed 1950s-inspired food, 1960s entertainment and a vintage bag and purse sale. Wendy Kaya (General Manager), Zoe Postgate (Deputy Manager) and Julia Staton (Senior Carer) all dressed up for the occasion.
Gavin Burke Pays Us a Visit
We had a very lovely man who came to sing for us at Chater Lodge, which the residents really enjoyed; he was very good at engaging people with dementia and was highly entertaining for everyone.
A Very British Tea Party
This year at Chater Lodge, we had a royally British tea party in celebration of the Queen's 90th. We spent the morning watching the soldiers march then had Lesley Anne singing for us, which residents thoroughly enjoyed.
Nutrition Week Tea Party
This week, Chater Lodge held a nutrition week tea party, they decided to go for a great British theme so put up lots of decorations and listened to the songs that won the war. Families and residents all joined in with the entertainment and expressed what a great time they all had.
