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
24 Hour Charity Bike-a-thon!
Staff and residents at Ritson Lodge have been very busy raising money for the Gorleston Lifeboats. We did a 24 hour static bike-a-thon and everybody got involved!! We were delighted to be joined by a member of the lifeboat team who answered lots of questions and told us many amazing stories.
Make a Wish Come True...
We ask our residents at Ritson Lodge to make a wish - one of our residents hadn't seen her sister for many many years and wanted to reunite with her! We found out where her sister lived and arranged a meeting. Tears were shed as the sisters bonded over memories and photo albums.
MacMillan Coffee Morning
We hosted a great Coffee Morning to raise money for MacMillan. Residents, relatives and friends of Ritson Lodge all got involved by having cakes and coffee - all for a good cause!!
100th Birthday Celebrations
We had a big celebration for one of our residents big birthdays!! Amy recently turned 100 and we had a big party with all of her family and friends. After Amy opened her card from The Queen, she was treated to some of her favourite live entertainment and a home made cake from our Head Chef!
