Barchester Ritson Lodge

All the staff treat my husband with respect and lots of patience.

Her stay was short - just 2 weeks, but I cannot praise the staff enough for the way they looked after her. With the encouragement of the carers, she made excellent progress both physically and with her social skills. The standard of care was exemplary. Thank you!

Thank you.

I enjoy visiting and also loved the Christmas decorations and window art.

Mom came out of hospital and needed care before she could go home, Barchester Ritson Lodge was fantastic with her needs and with dealing with us.

Helped me regain my confidence to walk after being in the hospital having 6 weeks of radiotherapy and a fractured spine with their encouragement and perseverance.

My Mum stayed for respite post serious illness in hospital to enable us to take a break and the care my Mum received was exemplary. Mum's health has progressed beyond my expectations, gaining good levels of weight, regaining appetite and she has her smile back once again. We sincerely thank the dedicated staff at Ritson Lodge for their gold-standard level of care and the kindness they show everything.

All the staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Totally excellent.

Fantastic care home, with superb staff and managers. The food is awesome, superb chefs. Very clean to the highest standard. All in all a brilliant place to stay.

My aunt has been a resident at Ritson Lodge since last August and at every visit, I have found the home to be spotlessly clean and welcoming. The staff seem to go above and beyond for my aunt and show her genuine care. Family and friends are always welcome and yesterday we enjoyed joining everyone for their 10th birthday celebrations. Well done to two members of staff in particular, it was lovely to see everyone happy and joining in with a sing-a-long and a little dance!

The home is second to none. Light, airy and modern with large well-furnished bedrooms and ensuites, it's very welcoming. The staff are all lovely, helpful and very respectable towards all the residents. Very good activities which all are encouraged to take part in. Very clean and hygienic and has great facilities.

The carers, chefs and managers are exceptional, going above and beyond every day to ensure that my mum receives the love and support she deserves. I have witnessed the care and attention given to other residents during my visits and it is consistent and of an exceptional standard.

The premises are bright, modern and clean. The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. I was able to arrange a room at short notice and the management made it as simple as possible at what was a difficult time. I cannot fault the care my father received, the carers were kind, compassionate and loving. My father did not enjoy the food but I found it adequate.

My mum was so pleased to be here, excellent all around from reception to departure. Thank you all so much for your help, encouragement and support. 100% priceless. Thank you.

The chef's homemade cakes and biscuits are so delicious!

My daughter came to Ritson Lodge at end of November for respite care whilst a permanent placement could be found. Fortunately, she is still here, absolutely loving living here and cared for by a wonderful team of staff, whatever their job role they are friendly, caring and willing to ensure a high standard of care is delivered. Can't thank enough them all for the care they give. Clean, tidy and spacious room and communal areas. Meals are appetising and very much enjoyed by my daughter.

The staff of Ritson Lodge are very friendly and dedicated. Whenever you go to visit or call they are very polite and helpful. The staff go above their job to make sure the residents are happy and have everything they require. When our uncle passed away, the staff made sure our aunt was told with people around her who sat with her until members of the family could get to her. Nothing seems to be any trouble. The whole place is immaculate.

This was the first time my husband had been for respite at Barchester Ritson Lodge Care Home and from the moment we arrived, he was treated with the utmost care and respect. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home.

We went to visit my husband's brother who is staying in Ritson Lodge for a short stay. We were extremely impressed with the cleanliness and how friendly and caring the staff were.

After moving my dad from a previous care home in London to somewhere more local after relocating myself, I can only say that the family and I made the best choice with Ritson Lodge. We viewed a few care homes prior to choosing but can honestly say the warm welcome that we received on viewing has been extended to his stay and not just 'for show'. The staff are amazing, always very helpful, cheerful and encouraging. Pleased to say that dad is thriving in his new environment. Very happy.
