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!

Life at Ritson Lodge Care Home
Flower Arranging Classes
Our flower arranging classes keep the home looking beautiful whilst allowing the more green-fingered residents the chance to teach others a lovely new skill.
Our home is always full of fresh flowers and our gardens are looking fantastic this summer.
Pet Therapy
Interaction with animals is fun, stimulating and proven to be great for mental well-being. At Ritson Lodge we love our pet therapy sessions and the gorgeous Prince is always a favourite of the residents.

International Nurses Day!
RITSON LODGE HONOUR STAFF ON INTERNATIONAL NURSES’ DAY
Coinciding with the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, International Nurses Day, held on Wednesday 12th May, is a day to celebrate nurses and care staff around the world. Residents and staff at Ritson Lodge care home in Great Yarmouth were happy to get involved.
In 2021, the World Health Organisation is seeking to highlight the ways in which nurses are innovating and to explore what the future of nursing could look like. This year, more than ever, we are hugely indebted to all our care staff, and we are incredibly proud to applaud their extraordinary efforts and commitment, on this special day of recognition. International Nurses’ Day is a day to give thanks for the dedication of care givers everywhere, who go above and beyond the call of duty to deliver extraordinary care and support.
We are welcoming new residents into our homes to ensure that we are there for those that need care and support. We’re making our homes as safe as possible and will ensure that all new residents and staff are vaccinated before moving in or working in our homes. Please do give us a call on 01502 734000 if you are looking for care or need any further help.
Ritson Lodge is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering high-quality care across its care homes and hospitals. Ritson Lodge provides Residential, Dementia and Nursing Care.

Our First Family Visit to a Family Home!
The 7th May marks one of the most heartwarming moments we, at Ritson Lodge have seen in more than a year!
Our wonderful Ray went on a visit to see his daughter Carol at home. They shared tea and cake in the garden, fussed his beloved cats and all in all had a wonderful time.
It is so nice that our residents can start to experience normal life again and you'll hopefully see us in the local newspaper as well!
