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!

A trip to see some Llamas

Residents enjoyed a trip on our minibus to visit llamas this morning. Autumn sunshine was glorious and our home manager joined us too!

For lunch we walked to our local pub and enjoyed pub lunch followed by coffee and carrot cake in our home garden. We all had a fabulous day. One resident said he had been to see the llamas with his wife and it brought back so many memories so he took a photo on his mobile phone to show his family.
