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
Christmas Party
Our Christmas party was enjoyed by all residents and their visiting families. The usual array of party games was fun for everyone, and delicious food was washed down with a drink or two. Later in the evening, Party Productions came to perform their 'Let it Snow' production.
Christmas Baking
Some of the lovely, talented ladies of Chater helped to decorate the Christmas cake this year.
The Wizard of Chater
This year's panto performance was a production of The Wizard of Oz. Residents wore green hats and feathered boas as they travelled to Oz.
Remembrance Sunday
We celebrated Remembrance Sunday in style with a wonderful performance from 'Nice & Easy' and a visit from an RAF servicemen,followed by a church service in the afternoon.
Toy from Your Childhood
We hosted a wonderful reminiscence session with a 'toys from your childhood' theme. Lots of memories were shared amongst the group.
Knit & Natter
We have started a 'Knit and Natter', which takes place every. Monday afternoon. The lovely Lyn is assisting the residents in knitting squares for a blanket, which we will eventually donate to a homeless charity. Bet, Doris, Jean and Gunda are getting great at knitting again and even better at nattering!
