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.

Painting Fun
Today residents and staff got together to welcome Iain who organised a lovely afternoon of activities for us all. We listened to the sounds of different birds, and then got to paint our very own and plant some bulbs in them. We can't wait to watch them blossom!
Home Trainer Award
All of us here at Chater would like to congratulate Zoe Postgate on getting to the finals of the Barchester Care Awards 2016 in the 'Home Trainer of the Year' category. Unfortunately, she didn't win, but she did win the divisional award! Well Done Zoe - you're still our winner!
Knit & Knatter
On 13th October, residents and staff got together for our weekly Knit and Knatter afternoon. Even the General Manager, Wendy, was having a lesson! It was such a lovely atmosphere and residents were telling each other life stories. It's such a hit that we've been doing it almost every afternoon.
Gavin Comes Again
On 17th October, Gavin came along and it was a great afternoon for all of us. Residents enjoyed singing along and even getting up for a little boogie! He'll be returning again very soon and we cant wait!
