Activities at Lawton Rise Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Lawton Rise Care Home

It was an unforgettable day, filled with love, laughter and cherished memories. 60 years of togetherness is a testament to the strength of their bond, the kindness they share, and the beautiful journey they’ve walked together.
From the entire team at Lawton Rise, we want to send our warmest wishes and heartfelt congratulations to John and Kath! Your love and commitment inspire all of us, and we are so grateful to be a part of your beautiful celebration.
A visit from Benji!
We had such a heart-warming day, as we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Benji, the sweetest dog, to our community!
Our residents were all smiles as they spent time with him – his wagging tail and loving nature brought so much joy to everyone. There’s something truly special about the unconditional love of a furry friend. We are so grateful for the happiness Benji shared with us.
Choir Visit
We were absolutely delighted to have the Kidsgrove community choir from St Thomas Church visit us. The residents had such a wonderful time, and the performance truly brightened everyone's afternoon.
Their beautiful music filled the room with so much joy, and we cannot thank them enough for the memorable experience and look forward to welcoming them back in the future.
Valentine's Pub Night
We filled the home with love heart bunting, cards, cocktails and cold beers for a pub evening in
celebration of St Valentine’s Day.
Staff and residents celebrated the day of love by having a classic pub night filled with games,
snooker on the TV, Karaoke, drinks, and laughter.
One resident Dorothy, mentioned “I love the music and I am happy everyone is celebrating with one
another.”
Jim another resident said that, “It had been a while since I’ve enjoyed a cold beer with the snooker
on, what a lovely way to end my day.”
Brit performs for Lawton Rise!
Residents and guests at Lawton Rise enjoyed a morning of grins and laughter with a live music
performance that took place at the home. Singer Brit performed a selection of classic hits including:
Elvis and favourite songs suggested by residents.
We all joined in with the singing, and clapped along as the singer performed their finale song,
Tipperary. The activities team at the home also provided musical instruments for guests to enjoy and try out during the show.
Staff within the home, said, “Our residents and guests had a wonderful day singing along with the lovely Brit, and always enjoy her company. We do our best to provide a wide range of activities and entertainment at Lawton Rise as part of the lifestyle enrichment programme for residents, and this was one of our favourites!”
One resident said “She’s just wonderful isn’t she? How she gets us all moving!”
Alpaca Visit
Lawton Rise care home, in Goldenhill, was full of animal mischief, when two lovely alpacas came to visit the home.
Residents at Lawton Rise were pleasantly surprised to see their new furry friends roaming around their garden as Knightley alpaca trekking paid a visit, the alpacas were so loving and friendly, they enjoyed having a cuddle more than we did!
One named Carlos he was very handsome and enjoyed looking at himself any opportunity he got,
And one named Teddy who was the cuddler of the two.
Staff members and relatives said: “We haven’t had one resident that doesn’t like the alpacas, they reacted brilliantly and really seemed to enjoy the alpacas visiting us here at Lawton Rise”
Resident Jean was very excited by the Knightley alpaca’s trekking’s animals: “I have always loved animals, especially the ones you don’t see as often, the alpacas are very loving.”
