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
Margaret's Burns Night Performance
On Burns Night Margaret was not impressed with our choice of Music, so, as a Scotswoman herself, she got her music book out and played her favourite tunes for us all to enjoy. We always appreciate the talents of residents at Chater Lodge.
Some exotic visitors from Zoolab
Residents enjoyed meeting the unusual pets from Zoolab who visited Chater Lodge. We touched and learned about this lovely Gecko as well as snakes, rats, lizards and other exotic creatures.
George enjoys a glass on Christmas Day
George enjoyed a lovely glass of wine with his Christmas Dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the whole day of good food, good company and festive fun.
Christmas Day Gifts
Residents at Chater Lodge all received some lovely gifts from family, friends and staff. Caroline loved her fluffy scarf, slippers, toiletries and chocolates.
Karaoke fun and memories
We had fun today at Chater Lodge with a Karaoke session. We sang along to songs of all genres, some of which triggered memories of special occasions, parties and first dances at weddings and anniversaries.
A visit to the hairdresser
