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!

Birthday Celebrations!

Happy Birthday to our resident, Ray! We celebrated with an outdoor birthday party, enjoying music, sandwich and cake! Ray has lots of friends in our home, so it was lovely to be able to celebrate with him.

Sunshine Crafts

Residents at Ritson have been getting creative and close to nature by painting some bird boxes to put up around the homes lovely gardens. We enjoyed the brilliant weather that we have been blessed with recently by taking this activity outside!

Visit From Norwich City FC!!

A big thank you to Norwich City FC for dropping off a signed football shirt and a cake made by Delia Smith herself! It was so very much appreciated by the residents and the staff and really brought a smile to everyone's faces! Some of our staff and residents are big fan's of Norwich City FC so this was a real treat. What a surprise!! Thank you!

VE Day Celebrations

VE day at Ritson Lodge was a lovely day of remembrance and celebrations! We had originally planned to use our front gardens and space to celebrate outside whilst being able to socially distance, however unfortunately the weather let us down so we ended up carrying on celebrations indoors in our lovely café lounge areas. The home was decorated in red, white and blue and we ate some lovely cakes and a war-time themed lunch made by our brilliant chef, Andy.
Overall everybody had a great day celebrating such an important event.

Keeping Fit!

Keeping fit is extra fun when it is to music! We have regular movement to music classes here at Ritson Lodge to make sure that residents keep their mobility and strength improving. It involves armchair exercises and sometimes just a good old dance!
