Meet the Ritson Lodge Care Home team

My name is Julie and I am the Head of the Residential community here at Ritson Lodge.

I have nearly 30 years' experience in both the private care sector and the NHS. During this time, I have gained several health care qualifications. Before joining the Ritson Lodge family in August 2017, I worked for 5 years as a Deputy Manager in another care home.

My goal is to provide the best quality, person-centred care to those we support and to ensure that all our residents are able to enjoy enriched and comfortable lives .

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.
