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!

Summer Newsletter
We are now rated 'Good'!
Ritson Lodge passed a recent Care Quality Commission inspection with an overall “Good” rating after being praised for a responsive, safe, effective and caring service. The report stated that "People told us that the staff were compassionate, kind and caring towards them. Staff addressed people in an affectionate tone and displayed warmth towards people when they engaged with them. One person commented about their positive relationship with the staff, "We have a laugh. I get on with most of them. Yes, all the staff know me, well I chatter a lot and we just get on." Another person said, "I've been here a number of years and the staff know me very well.
In celebration of the rating and to thank each member of the team for their contributions to the home, each team member was presented with £100 gift voucher in appreciation of their hard work by Divisional Director, Lorna Rose.
Pamela Mauchaza, General Manager at Ritson Lodge Care Home said: “We are delighted that Ritson Lodge was rated ‘Good’ overall following the CQC’s most recent inspection. The team at Ritson Lodge always strive to provide the best possible quality care for everyone who lives at the home.”
Community Litter Pick
Residents at Ritson Lodge wanted to give back to their local community by taking part in a litter pick with the community on Gorleston Beach. The residents were picked up in a lovely limo provided by the Co-op and enjoyed an ice-cream after some litter picking. Everybody had a great time and it felt wonderful to give back to the community.
Fruit Tasting!
On these lovely summery days we like to offer our residents a chance to try all sorts of different fruits! These delicious fruits are full of juicy goodness and also help to reduce risk of dehydration.
