Activities at Lawton Rise Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Kate Franks
Hi, my name is Kate Franks and I have returned to Lawton Rise August 2023 to work as an Activities Coordinator. I started my career working as a Legal Secretary in the Conveyancing department before leaving to commence employment with the Health Authority as a Medical Secretary.
After having my two children I retrained to work as a Teaching Assistant in a Primary School for ten years and studied for a Higher Level Teaching Assistance qualification enabling to progress my career.
Due to illness within my family I needed to focus on a role closer to home but I am delighted to be able to return to the home and it feels like I have never been away. The staff and residents are so welcoming and helpful and I am really pleased that I have returned.

Life at Lawton Rise Care Home
Pancake Day
On Tuesday the 25th we wanted to share Pancake Day with our family and friends, we invited them to come and join us for a morning of good food and fun! At Lawton Rise we want our family and friends to come and it feel like home for them too, we had lots of books and leaflets full of information on Alzheimer’s and Dementia for them to take away and if they have any questions our door is always open for them to come and speak to us.
Everyone involved said how much of a lovely morning it was and how they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
