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!

Rita Matusebiciute

Activities Coordinator

Hi, my name is Rita and I am the Activities Coordinator. 

I have many years of experience in Activities and I have been with Barchester since 2018. I previously worked in Chelsea in another Care Home working with all of the West End stars!

I love being part of the Ritson team and supporting our residents to live their best lives with fun, interesting and varied activities available every week. Learning about the residents and including their interests, hobbies and life experiences into the activities that we provide is one of the most rewarding aspects of working here. I am always one of the first to introduce myself to new residents so that we can chat about what kind of activities they enjoy.

Ritson Ramblers

Here at Ritson Lodge 35 of us got out with our Ritson Ramblers. The idea was to enjoy fresh air, meet new people and tackle loneliness. Mental health is important and getting out with others definitely helps.

National Chocolate Day

National Chocolate Day is celebrated at Riston Lodge with near religious zeal!

Everyone adores the amazingly delicious treats created by chef Tom and his team. From brownies to doughnuts, to fudge cakes and trifle, chef Tom always impresses. 

Nothing brings the home together like chocolatey treats. Whether enjoyed whilst chatting in the cafe with friends, or quietly in a lounge, or alongside a glass of sherry in our pub, we don't mind how our residents enjoy themselves just as long as they do.

Upcoming events
