Activities at Ritson Lodge Care Home

Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Jean's visit to the Church

Jean has said she always used to go to church before coming to Ritson Lodge, so I asked Jean if she would like to go next Sunday to Hopton Church and she was thrilled! She really enjoyed going to church and talking to other people that attend. They even asked us to stay for tea and biscuits! We were made to feel so welcome, Jean is already looking forward to next time!

Making a Scarecrow

We were getting all ready for our Hopton Scarecrow Competition today. So lots of mess and laughter. I have a sneaky suspicion they are up to something as I was told to keep away!

Thank you to Beehive Farm Livery for donating us plenty of straw.
So many laughs this morning, such a fun day, we even noticed straw in our hair! We can’t wait for it to be finished.

Lennie's perfect day

Lennie and Jean became good friends over their love of Norwich City FC.
Lennies wish was to go back to where he grew up and lived.
We visited his sister at Gorleston life boat station and had lunch and beer at his favourite local pub where he surprisingly bumped in to his old gang of friends.
On top of this we have been on National TV This Morning..... Celebrating Gorleston being the best beach in the country.️
And to finish it all off we had ice creams on the beach and took the bus home.
What a fantastic day!!!
The way Lennie remembered all the streets, all the buildings and invited someone to show this to is remarkable..... such a change.

Amazing! Who will we pick next for a Ritson wish journey? Staff and residents on this day felt on top of the world

Visiting the Local Pub

What a brilliant time at our local pub: The White Hart

Residents from Ritson thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Walk, lunch, amazing service and great time. We always get a lovely welcome from the staff, and it makes our pub lunch extra special. We always feel fantastic and full up when we leave.
We're already planning our next meal at the White Hart
