Activities at Chater Lodge Care Home

At the Chater Lodge Care Home we marked Father’s Day in style with a special lunch in honour of all fathers, featuring gifts and tokens of love for the gentlemen in our home.

Our Gentlemen met their loved ones in the garden, others enjoyed video calls with their family and friends, and we all took part in various activities, such as writing letters and cards, and playing themed games and quizzes.

Chater Lodge care home, in Ketton, Rutland, was full of hoots on Monday 12th June when a kettle of birds of prey came to visit the home. 

Residents at Chater Lodge were pleasantly surprised to see their new feathered friends up close and personal in their garden as Rutland Outdoor Pursuits paid a visit. Rutland Outdoor Pursuits brought 20 years of experience with their visit as they look after a wide range of birds of prey including eagles, falcons, owls, and hawks.

Chater Lodge hosted it’s very own Cocktail Day as a celebration of cocktails,  We invited our residents, family members and friends to try something new, and perhaps a little exotic.

Whether you’re a tequila fan, a whisky lover, a gin aficionado or you just like to mix it up and try something new, our Cocktail Day has something for everyone. It was certainly a day of fun-filled tastings for the staff and residents at the Chater Lodge Care Home in Ketton, Stamford.

To mark the day, residents had so much fun taking part in a cocktail tasting masterclass led by our wonderful home host, Matt, finding out about the history of cocktail making and trying their hand at coming up with new cocktails themselves.

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Chater Lodge Care Home in Ketton, England were treated to an hour in the company of Community Engagement Manager, Rhiannon Watkinson, from the RAF Museum in Hendon, London.  Coinciding with the anniversary of the D Day landings on 6th June 1944, residents joined Rhiannon for an interactive talk about historic Hendon exploring its exciting and innovative aviation history. They heard about the first flights from the fields at Hendon, the creation of the London Aerodrome and all about Battle of Britain pilots who flew from RAF Hendon. The talk included fascinating photographic and film material from the Museum’s archive and a chance for residents to share their stories and ask questions.

Staff and residents at the Chater Lodge Care Home in Ketton had a fantastic time celebrating National Fish & Chip Day on ‘Fryday’ 2nd June, surely one of the best days of the year!

Our brilliant team in the kitchen whipped up a selection of different flavoured batters for residents to try along with some home-made tartare sauce and mushy peas, everyone had a great time guessing the different batter ingredients.  The sun was shining so residents took to the garden to eat their fish and chips.

Chater Lodge Care Home in Ketton decided to celebrate the start of the bank holiday weekend with a good old fashioned knees up in the garden!

Residents, their relatives and staff all got involved embracing the summer sunshine and held a tea party in our beautiful patio garden area.

There was sparkling refreshments and snacks on offer as our residents enjoyed singing along to some of their favourite hits. Including the Everly Brothers and Elvis Presley.
