Activities at Paternoster House Care Home
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
Official Opening of Refurbished Parklands Community
It has been a weekend of celebration in Waltham Abbey, not only did the town celebrate King Harrold Day, but Paternoster House were delighted to officially open our refurbished Parklands Community. Thank you so much to Shane Yerrell, Waltham Abbey's Mayor for cutting the ribbon alongside, Maddie, Senior General Manager and Michael the home's Resident Ambassador. Guests, staff and residents gathered as Shane thanked everyone involved in the refurbishment and spoke about the impact this will have on our residents. We then showed everyone around explaining how this Memory Lane community has been carefully designed for those living with dementia. The celebration continued as everyone chatted over a delicious lunch and residents enjoyed live entertainment. What a wonderful day with a warm atmosphere that welcomes visitors to Paternoster House every day.
The refurbishment has also included the lounges and dining areas in our nursing communities as well as bedrooms and bathrooms within Parklands. We are open for show rounds 7 days a week and are here to discuss and support with all your care needs.
A Trip to the Local!
Good food, good company and once again we were made to feel so welcome at our local pub, The Queens Head and our Mr B knew it as The Bloomers , apparently a good few pints were drunk back in his day!
Puppy Love
Thank you so much to Performing Pets for sharing these adorable poodle puppies; Two Tone Tony and his sister Tilly. They bought so much love into our home with Paternoster House residents and staff over joyed to watch these little characters running and playing along the corridors. They were also very happy to have a cuddle from us all!
George walks for all Nannies and Grandads
Congratulations George for completing the Memory Walk to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Society. George's nanny is a Paternoster House resident and to support the fundraising we have also held a raffle in the home.
The amazing George said "My name is George and I am five years old. My nanny lives at Paternoster House on Memory Lane. My nanny is living with Alzheimers. I am walking to raise money for my nanny and all the other nanny and grandads who have sore heads."
Date Night for a Special Anniversary
Suited and booted and looking very smart. Resident Colin’s wish was to make his and Beryl’s 49th wedding anniversary a special occasion by booking a table, arranging flowers to be delivered and a heartfelt written card; which with the help of the Paternoster team we made possible and you can see the date was a great success.
Beryl looked lovely and everyone at Paternoster House would like to congratulate these wonderful couple on your 49th wedding anniversary, so glad you both enjoyed your meal at the Woodbine Inn chosen by Colin himself.
