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.
Ashley
Hello, name is Ashley and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Paternoster House.
My aim is to ensure every resident is as happy and active as possible. We host a wide variety of activities and live entertainment including singers and bands, animal and music therapies, art sessions, gardening and outings to the local community.
I love getting to know new residents and their families and helping them to settle into life at Paternoster House.

Life at Paternoster House Care Home
National Gardening Day
Today was National Gardening Day and our green-fingered residents were keen to get stuck in with creating beautiful flower boxes.
The weather wasn't cooperating so we brought the garden inside for the residents, whilst our talented gardener carried on his great work outside.
Easter Bunny Mischief
The Easter Bunny visited Paternoster House and got up to all sorts of mischief.
As well as dropping off Easter Eggs and posing for photos, the Easter Bunny was causing naughty chaos throughout the home to the amusement of the residents. Our residents had a lot of laughs and enjoyed the Bunny's antics.
Easter Photo Shoot
We always have an Easter photo shoot at Paternoster and this year was no different.
We spent the day making traditional Easter bonnets, playing Easter games and eating chocolate before posing for our annual photo.
Our residents and staff look fantastic as always.
Easter Animal Fun
It has been a fluffy kind of day at Paternoster House.
We've had some delightful bunnies, ducklings and chicks visiting today, who have put smiles of everyone's faces! Nothing says Easter quite like getting to hold a pair of tiny Easter chicks or ducklings in your hand!
Animal therapy is one of the cornerstones of our life enrichment programme and our Activities Coordinators work hard to ensure that our therapy sessions are varied and enjoyed by all.
Live Music At Paternoster House
Live music is one of the cornerstones of our life enrichment programme here at Paternoster House. Our Activity Coordinators work hard to ensure that a wide range of musical tastes are catered too and that favoured performers visit on a regular basis.
Robert Jerome is one of our regular entertainers. Robert's performances always have the residents clapping, dancing and singing along. We are looking forward to having him back again soon.
Sunshine Nursery Visits Paternoster House
The wonderful children from Sunshine Nursery and Pre-school visited Paternoster House this week to present us with their beautiful donations of decorations in the theme of International Happiness Day.
The children were dressed up for Red Nose Day and look fantastic as the joined residents for some music and a sing-a-long.
