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!

Games & Songs
Residents really enjoyed playing games at our games club. We even started singing whilst we were waiting for some of them to be set up. Bring on the Ritson Lodge Choir!

For the Love of Music
We had a singalong on our Memory Lane community, which went down a treat! Everyone joined in, including family members and friends. In the break time, we enjoyed some mocktails and cakes, and then went back to singing and dancing with our musical instruments.

Mocktail Madness
Residents and loved ones got to enjoy an afternoon of indulging in fruity mocktails, along with ice cream and sweet treats on the side. Everyone found the fancy straws very funny and even wanted to keep them for the next drinks.

Games Day
We enjoyed a games day recently here at Ritson Lodge. We started off the day with a Frank Sinatra impersonator and, after lunch, we played lots of new and funny games. There were plenty of delicious cakes that residents got to indulge in as well.

Pamper Day
We hold a pamper afternoon in the salon every Tuesday. Maria Lawson joined us for our most recent session and gave everyone shoulder, head and foot massages. There was relaxing music playing in the background and we all felt spoilt rotten.
