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
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.

Life at Ritson Lodge Care Home
Summer Arrived Early
Residents enjoyed being in the garden and indulging in some cool ice lollies.
104th Birthday Celebrations
The activities team decorated the purple lounge for Grace's 104th birthday, which she celebrated with her family and friends. She also celebrated with residents and enjoyed cakes a beverages later in the day.
Multi Activity Afternoon
Residents enjoyed an afternoon full of various activities at Ritson Lodge. They had a choice between arts and crafts, word searches and baking scones for afternoon tea.
The Queen's Official Birthday
We had lots of activities planned for the morning, including crosswords and baking. In the afternoon, our entertainment, Felicity, helped us to celebrate. We rounded off the day with a lovely tea party.
Easter Egg Hunt
This activity took place on Sunday 16th April. The event was open to the community; we had an Easter bunny, a colouring competition and a raffle. The afternoon was a great success.
Barn Owl Visit
We had a barn owl named Fluke visit the residents at Ritson Lodge from a local plant centre. Needless to say, Fluke got plenty of attention!
