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
Community Connections
Ensuring our residents remain part of the local community is a priority at Paternoster House. On the last Friday of each month we have the pleasure of joining others in the community for an afternoon of friendship and fun at Waltham Abbey Baptist Church where we attend the 3Food4U Social warm place 'Memory Cafe'.
Our residents love the welcome they receive and the new friends they make as likeminded seniors join together to sing and play games.
Bird of Prey 'Bonzo'
It's always a 'hoot' when we have a visit from the Performing Pets team, we never know what animal they will bring into meet our residents and last Tuesday is was like a scene from Harry Potter as we welcomed this beautiful Owl 'Bonzo'.
Residents at Paternoster House love the animal therapy sessions that our dedicated Activities Team organise during the month. As one of the foundations of our Life Enrichment program, we know that animal therapy can help reduce blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health.
