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
Animal Magic
We were joined by lots of different animals again recently, but not the normal ones. We saw different types of creatures from all different countries – things that we'd never seen before. All the ladies were happy to hold them, but the men were not so keen.
We have learnt so much in the last few weeks; can you believe that leaf insects eat leaves?! Nope, residents can't either.
Natter Hatters
Our most recent knit & natter session was as successful as ever. We made lots of baby hats for the local hospital, and residents are always keen to make them for each other.
Music Club
Our most recent music club was very busy. Residents and staff enjoyed singing along and playing musical instruments. Fruit mocktails with fancy straws were available and lots of family members joined us as well.
Summer Fun
We have been enjoying the summer here at Ritson Lodge by playing lots of board games. We have had fruit mocktails, ice creams and lollies, in addition to having plenty of singalongs.
A Work of Heart
This is a Craft Club member creating a bird feeders in our most recent session. We also made bird feeder rings in all different colours and sizes to put outside residents' rooms and to give some to their families as well. Everyone enjoyed this session and loved the cake and tea that followed it as well.
Summer Fête
We do lots of charity work here at Ritson and the locals always come in to help, along with family members. Residents come down to have a look around and we have a singer perform for everyone. It's always such a nice treat.
