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
Oral Hygiene Talk
On Thursday 22nd March, we had an Oral Hygiene Talk with Mandy. She came in and set up a stand and then showed our staff and residents why it is so important to have good oral hygiene and how we can all best achieve this. She also gave us information on any issues we might come up against and how to find solutions for them.
International Women's Day
Female residents at Ritson Lodge were celebrated on International Women’s Day. We had a reminiscence session, which involved singalongs, talking about old fashion tips and having a look at 1940s memorabilia, such as washboards, hair rollers and make-up. The ladies were laughing and joking and had a wonderful time talking about the good ol' days.
Winter Olympics
We are all ready for the start of the Winter Olympics here at Ritson Lodge!
Family Fun Day
We hosted a 'Family Fun Day' on 4th February with lots of stalls, a raffle, loads of refreshments and a visit from a pony. It was a great day!
Open Day
We hosted an open day on 27th January, which was very successful. We were joined by many people who wanted to take a look round our home. We also had Angela in, who was doing a reminiscence talk in the morning, and Felicity, who sang some songs for us in the afternoon.
Burns Night
Everyone enjoyed listening to Ian play the bagpipe. We also had a toast with Prosecco and non-alcoholic beverages were also available. For supper, there was also the option of haggis on the menu.
