Meet our Activities Coordinator, Rita Matusevicieute

Hello, my name is Rita and I have worked in care for over ten years. I previously worked in London but decided to start a new adventure by moving to Norfolk. I am very passionate about what I do and love to spend time with the residents – bringing smiles and making them happy!

Activities at our 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!

Life at Ritson Lodge Care Home

Valentine's Day Celebrations

Residents, staff and friends of Ritson Lodge celebrated Valentines Day with a tea party and a performance from a local Ukulele band! Everybody had a great time and many of the residents had a dance along to the music!

Stay & Play - Visit from the Toddlers!

Every month we have a lovely local toddler group come into Ritson Lodge to play with the residents! Our residents love the visits from these little ones.

Gardening Club

Here at Ritson Lodge, we have a gardening club that meets regularly. In these pictures you can see our residents enjoying looking after the flowers and potting some winter colour!

Horse Therapy

Residents at Ritson Lodge had some strange visitors to the home this week - these gentle giants won over the hearts of the residents and staff. Horse therapy will now be taking place every month at Ritson Lodge.

Mediterranean Day!

To offset the cold weather here at Ritson Lodge, we had a Mediterranean Day! Our residents made flags which were used to decorated a buffet table with lots of different Mediterranean foods - Spanish, Greek and Italian food were all on offer, cooked by our fabulous Head Chef. We then had an informative slide show from a member of the community who taught us all about the Mediterranean lifestyle. Everybody had a great day!

Open Day at Ritson Lodge

On Saturday, Ritson Lodge care home opened its doors to the community for their Open Day! We had lots of visitors who wanted to have a look around and meet the team. We also had a lovely tea party for the visitors with live entertainment and dancing!
