Activities at Chater Lodge Care Home

Courtesy of our activities and community team, our residents, relatives and visitors enjoyed a selection of cheeses and a variety of finely picked ale

Our residents enjoyed an afternoon of social themed fun and there was plenty of hearty chatter and laughter.

Zoe Postgate our General Manager said: “This has been a huge amount of fun it’s been great to see our residents and guests come together and enjoy an afternoon of hearty chatter over some cheese and ale”

One of our residents said “We’ve had so much fun. we really enjoyed sampling and talking about the different ales on offer”

Chater Lodge was delighted to welcome back Mother and Daughter, singing duo Lesley and Ann for an afternoon of cabaret themed fun. 

Residents, colleagues and guests from the community had a wonderful time singing along and dancing to a selection of classic musical ballads. 

Our team warmly welcomed guests from the community to look around our wonderful home whilst enjoying a selection of beverages and freshly made cakes.

Chater Lodge Care Home in Ketton, Stamford prepared a traditional Burns Night Supper to the tune of bagpipes and Scottish folk music and the fun continued well into the evening

Staff and residents at the home were involved in a number of activities including a visit by the Grampian Dancers and Micheal our visiting local bagpiper to mark the Scottish institution, including giving the time-honoured address to the ‘Great chieftain O’ the pudding race’ – the haggis.
 

Chater Lodge was delighted to welcome back the wonderful children from Ketton Playschool.

We celebrated International Day of Education, a global celebration of the power of knowledge and learning. This day recognises the fundamental role education plays in promoting peace,sustainability,and development. While the children visited we also learnt about Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish New Year for trees!

This special day, often referred to as the “Birthday of the Trees,”is a celebration of nature,growth, and the environment, we were proud to commemorate this with a special tree planting ceremony.

Across our services residents had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Emilia from Medical Detection Dogs.

Emilia took us on a journey to discover how the organisation began training dogs to support people with complex health conditions, saving their lives on a daily basis.

Using their amazing sense of smell, these dogs can identify odour changes emitted prior an episode and alert the person to take preventative action.

We were introduced to the wonderful dogs and the science behind the sniff.  It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our canine-loving residents.

Chater Lodge hosted a delightful High Tea event featuring cream tea and delicious snacks prepared by the home's kitchen team. The event was a resounding success, with residents, staff, and members of the local community coming together to enjoy an afternoon of decadence.

The event was held in the home's café area which was decorated with beautiful floral arrangements and elegant table settings. The guests were treated to a variety of scrumptious snacks, including cream scones with raspberry jam and a variety of cakes.

The cream tea was a particular highlight, with guests complimenting the quality of the scones and cream.
