Activities at Ritson Lodge Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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!
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Ritson Lodge Care Home
Homemade Lavender Bags
Today we made lavender bags from lavender grown in our gardens.
Such a beautiful aroma!
Did you know that lavender can be useful in helping to calm, soothe, and promote rest and relaxation. Especially helpful before bedtime, during meditation, and whenever you need a moment to rest.
Residents even gifted bags of home made lavender to staff as residents said it helped them to get a better nights sleep.
Open Day with Vintage Cars
What a fantastic open day we have had today here at Ritson Lodge. Vintage cars, we had 11 of them in our car park! A big thank you to Lowestoft classic car club. Residents enjoyed going for a ride with the wind blowing in their hair and remembering the good old days.
Natalie Willis entertaining us and delicious vintage afternoon tea with tasty vintage cakes baked by our chefs.
We even made it in to the local paper again!
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.
Dancing and Singing
What a brilliant performance from Fay Bedford stage school girls this Saturday afternoon here at Ritson Lodge.
Residents enjoyed watching with feet tapping and hands clapping.
We can’t wait to have them back in our home.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Wow !!! What a morning we had here at Ritson Lodge !!!! We raised £157.10 for Macmillan cancer support. It was such a lovely morning full of laughing, coffee, tea, cakes, and friends and family
Joining in on the day we also had our knit and natter group along with our pet therapy dog Prince.
Bingo and Wine
Residents had great fun playing bingo and enjoying wine with nibbles in our own pub this afternoon.
Residents enjoy a game of bingo in our pub or the lounge, always a happy time with lots of laughs and prize winning. They can’t wait till next week for more bingo fun!
