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
A sunny visit at Chater Lodge
The last few days have seen some lovely dry, sunny weather so we are pleased to have welcomed several families for garden visits at Chater Lodge. The forecast is looking good for this week, too!
St Patrick's Day
We enjoyed some Irish culture, food and crafts on St Patrick's Day, making our own decorated cups to enjoy a little Guinness.
International Women's Day
To mark International Women's Day we talked about the women we admired and the women who had been important in our lives. We treated the Chater Lodge ladies to a little pampering, too.
World Wildlife Day
At Chater Lodge we love seeing lots of birds and squirrels in our garden so we made some fat balls for them to enjoy.
Gentlemen's Club
Sometimes the gents at Chater Lodge just like to get together and have a beer or a game of dominos.
St David's Day celebrations
As part of our St David's day celebrations residents at Chater Lodge arranged vases of daffodils to bring a little bit of spring into our home.
