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!

Community Champion Winner

Ritson Lodge recently presented its latest Community Champion winner with their prize.

We congratulated winner Kinsey Foster for being voted winner of the home’s annual Community Champion competition. Kinsey was presented with a certificate as well as a hamper of goodies by the Activities Coordinator Rita.

Kinsey is the owner of the @WoodworksArtCafe in Lowestoft which provides art and craft sessions aimed at improving mental wellbeing. Many of the people who come to use Kinsey’s café say that they find her warm welcome the main reason they keep coming.

One nomination said having a space that is welcoming to those of different abilities is essential to the community and that they would struggle without it.

Siobhan Fennell, General Manager at Ritson Lodge, said: “We are always keen to honour those who are working hard for the community. Kinsey’s nominators said some lovely things about the work her café does.”

Happy Birthday Payshe

Early this month we helped Payshe celebrate her...... 21st birthday!......

We make sure that everyone is able to celebrate their birthday's in the way they choose.

We Have A New Manager

The wonderful Siobhan, who worked at Ritson Lodge for many years as the Deputy Manager, returned today as the brand new General Manager.

The whole team was delighted to welcome Siobhan back as manager with balloons, cake and flowers.

Siobhan said: "I was blown away by the reaction of the team. They've been so kind and pleased to see me again. I worked at Ritson Lodge for a long time and to be honest today really felt like coming home!"

Rock & Roll Afternoon

Today we have had the brilliantly talented Chris Wilson Music leading us in a rock and roll music session.

Chris had residents shouting out requests, dancing and singing along to his energetic performance.

Live music performances are always popular at Ritson Lodge and Chris is one of our favourites!
