Activities at Paternoster House 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 specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Life at Paternoster House Care Home
Fun times at Church
Today a few of our ladies went to 3Food4U Social Club at Waltham Abbey Baptist Church.
They had such a wonderful time, Pat had a fabulous time dancing with everyone, gaining the attention of 'Frank Sinatra' the guest performer. We all agreed; Gareth Jenkins performance was brilliant!
Barbara won bingo and got a lovely prize and Dot enjoyed meeting and making new friends as well as dancing.

Happy St George’s Day

Easter Celebrations Fun for All Ages
Today we celebrated Good Friday with a special Coffee Morning which included an activity table full of Arts’n’Crafts to keep the children busy while visiting their relatives.
Resident Diane was very keen to help hide all the Chicks & Bunnies for the children to find on the Easter Egg Hunt. The children were very exciting running around the gardens looking for the Easter Bunnies treats.
We judged the Easter Bonnet competition and it was Meadowlands who won with a very impressively decorated Bonnet. They were presented with a bag of chocolate eggs to share amongst themselves & residents. Well done Meadowlands!
We also drew the Easter Raffle. Many prizes were up for grabs but it was our resident Barbara who won first prize, she picked one of the biggest eggs.
Lastly the Easter Bunny made another appearance to distribute lots of chocolate to each community.

We had a good old natter over our meal and thoroughly enjoyed their meal. They were so grateful and enjoyed being out in this lovely weather.
