Activities at Paternoster House Care Home

Capturing the Magic of Nature (Indoors!) 

Our residents had a "splashing" good time during today’s arts and crafts session! Using smooth stones, tiny jars, and a little bit of "water" magic (cleverly crafted with hot glue!), they created these beautiful miniature waterfalls. It’s amazing to see how a few simple materials can turn into a peaceful desk-side oasis. 

We think they did a "rockin" job—don't you?
 

Love was in the air and in the rhythm at Paternoster House. This morning we welcomed dancer; Ella Brown for a special Valentine’s tap dance performance. Seeing the smiles on our residents faces as they watched through the performance was priceless, it was a truly 'toe-tapping' morning of joy and connection. We can’t wait to see you again!

Surprise! We caught our two birthday residents off guard today with a joint celebration. They were both so incredibly grateful, and we were just as happy to celebrate them. Cheers to another wonderful year birthday besties!

A massive thank you to our musical entertainer Tracey Lea for surviving our percussion section. You haven't truly lived until you've performed for a group of people who use instruments as headwear and give 110% on the maracas!

Residents at Paternoster House had fun singing Christmas carols & making festive Christmas wreaths. 

90 years young and more fabulous than ever! 

Today we had the absolute pleasure of celebrating a very special milestone for one of our beloved residents Brenda. Surrounded by her wonderful family, friends, and our team, the afternoon was filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of dancing!

A huge thank you to our musical entertainer Ian Gallagher Singer King of Swing Cabaret Nights for keeping the party moving and making this day truly unforgettable. Happy 90th Birthday Brenda.

"Any way you slice it, we had a 'dough-lightful' day! 

In honor of National Pizza Day and assisted by Lucy, our residents became master chefs for the afternoon. We think they’ve mastered the art of the perfect pizza and each slice tasted absolutely delicious.

Piece by piece, our residents are showing us that patience and focus never go out of style! 

To celebrate #NationalPuzzleDay, we’ve spent the morning tackling everything from world maps to beautiful landscapes. It’s more than just a game, it’s great for the mind and even better for the soul. Puzzles also provide vital mental stimulation for our residents, helping them to improve memory and concentration.

Residents were treated to a fantastic afternoon of Rock & Roll hits by Elvis impersonator Ian who entertained our residents & raised the roof with his music.

Megan's Petting Paradise visited Paternoster House today and our residents were thrilled with all the different animals. 

We had a 'batter' day than most here celebrating Pancake Day.  Activities and kitchen staff teamed up to make sure every resident had a warm pancake with their favorite toppings. From Angie’s flips to first bites, it was a day full of fun and full tummies!

Who knew we had so many dance floor divas and disco dandys?

We had a blast with our lovely live musical entertainer Heidi that got our residents and staff on their feet (and some even on the mic) from the clapping to the twirling, the energy was infectious! 

Valentine’s Day Card Making at Paternoster Care Home. Our residents enjoyed a lovely creative session making Valentine’s cards for their loved ones.

Using colourful Valentine’s stickers, flower stencils, glitter, and lots of imagination, everyone created something truly special. A beautiful way to share love, smiles, and creativity this Valentine’s Day.

We are so proud of our keep warm project. Residents at Paternoster House are knitting colourful squares to create blankets for donation. 

What a better way to end the week than with a trip to the local Pub. Our residents enjoyed pints and pork scratchings whilst reminiscing about their colourful lives.
