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!

Life at Ritson Lodge Care Home
Art & Crafts with Creative Mojo
Our residents’ love Art and Craft sessions here at Ritson Lodge when Creative Mojo visit. During this particular session we were exploring and finding inspiration from the work of contemporary artist - Yayoi Kusama and in particular Polka Dot Art.
It really was a fun session and our residents’ created some super pieces of Art and are very much looking forward to their next session too!
Flower Arranging and Display Presentation
Flower arranging is always a popular activity at Ritson Lodge with our residents. Roger has many fond memories of helping his Mum with her flowers and Marie definitely has real artistic flare as we are sure you will agree with the beautiful displays which now everyone can enjoy at the home!
Aquapainting Session
Aquapaints are a painting activity using water that activates a beautiful picture to appear! It is a unique painting activity specially developed for people with cognitive loss.
Our residents on our Memory Lane Dementia Community expressed themselves creatively, felt a sense of achievement and pure joy as you can see!
