"My father came to Ritson Lodge from the hospital, suffering from advanced dementia in April 2020. He was part of the transfer of hospital patients into care homes following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. Initially, we were very worried about how he would cope with the change, especially as we were unable to visit due to Government restrictions. However, during the 10-months Dad was a Riston, I came to see that he was in very caring and safe hands. We had regular phone contact from the home, and during these conversations, I could tell that they had established a real relationship with him and completely understood his needs. For example, Dad always needed to be physically busy, and although this sometimes required a lot of attention from staff, they quickly realised that it was essential for his overall wellbeing. The biggest compliment I can pay is when we ere unable to be there for him, Riston Lodge's staff came to be Dad's surrogate family. There is a very strong, caring ethos, which clearly goes right through the management and staff at the home. From my experience, I would unhesitatingly recommend Ritson Lodge."

On her 100th birthday, they organised a party with entertainment and she had a wonderful day. At the weekend, they provided a room and decorated it so family members who were unable to attend in the week could have a private party. The food provided on both occasions was lovely and the manager and entertainment manager both ensured that we have everything we wanted for the occasion."

"I received hospital care treatment for one week following a severe attack of bronchial pneumonia. The attack left me feeling very weak an unable to look after myself. Prior to my illness, I was my wife's full-time carer because she suffered from multiple sclerosis and a degree of dementia. My wife was admitted into Barchester Ritson Lodge upon my admittance into hospital. I was admitted in The Lodge following my release from hospital. Without exception my wife was very well cared for upon her admission, admin was both friendly and efficient. Upon my admission into The Lodge, it was necessary for me to be undressed and put to bed. Thereafter I needed assistance with bathing and dressing on a daily basis for about two weeks. Since then my condition has improved and I am now able to look after myself. Throughout our stay at Ritson Lodge, my wife and I have consistently received friendly and efficient service of the highest order. Mentions should also be made of the excellent food which is both varied and well presented."

Patricia Mcarehome.co.uk rating: 4 out of 5

"Generally, very good all-around, staff are very good, so 4 stars, not 5. Some lapses in housekeeping, such as only the occasional hoover of rooms. Staff require prompts for clothes collection and cleaning, as residents don't know if clean or not. My mum requires help every day with showering/washing."

C H Wcarehome.co.uk rating: 3.8 out of 5

"Ritson Lodge is a lovely place to live with super décor and furnishing. Most staff can't do enough to help the residents to make the home "their home". They do, however, seem understaffed at times, especially evenings where my aunt and uncle need help to go to bed. Also, if visiting at night we have difficulty getting in the front door and have had to wait as long as 15 mins to be let in! If these things were addressed we would describe the care as excellent."

"My mum was admitted in April 2017 for respite. She is 97 and has dementia and nursing needs. She is in the nursing wing at our request. Management has always been available for discussion and to alleviate any concerns. Placing a loved one in a care home is a huge responsibility and we have found the management very understanding, reassuring and supportive. This can also be said for the nursing staff who have also adhered to our rights as 'LPOA's' for our mum. The carers are very attentive to both my mum and us when we visit. I love the fact that I can visit at my convenience, with this said, thank you all so much. Mum is now a permanent resident and is very happy here."

I like the additional lounges where you can sit quietly and talk when you visit."

I love in Canada so was not able to visit mum while she resided there. I dropped in on January 22 2016, without an appointment. I was met by the general manager, who did not hesitate to show my daughter and myself around. All I can say is this is a wonderful, clean, professional, well looked after facility and staff are very caring. I would definitely recommend this facility to my friends and relatives."

"After arriving at Ritson Lodge in September for two weeks respite my mother in law decided to stay, she had been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and at the age of 90 decided that she needed to be somewhere to be cared for with people around her when needed. In December she started to deteriorate and I can say that the care that she had was second to none. The staff were all very caring, treated her with total respect and dignity. The whole atmosphere of Ritson Lodge is warm, friendly, very clean which itself leads to happy residents. A lot of activities going on no one has to be bored. Unfortunately my mother in law passed away on December 29th, but again we cannot fault how things were dealt with at this time. We would highly recommend this residential home."
