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
103rd Birthday for William
We recently celebrated a very special Birthday for our lovely resident William who received an early birthday greeting when he had a visit from The Mayor of Waltham Jeane Lea to celebrate his 103rd Birthday
William, who had a number of miniature Baileys lined up on his chest of drawers in his room, was quick to point out that 11am is his usual time for his favourite drink
There was smiles all round as William laughed and shared some special war memories with the Mayor and even offered her a Baileys
Councillor Jeane Lea said: It was an honour meet William on his special day and visit paternoster again
