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.

Puppy Therapy
A truly fantastic day at Paternoster House because we had puppies visiting!
The incredible team from Performing Pets have been visiting Paternoster House today with a whole pack of puppies! As part of our activities program we have regular animal therapy sessions; today's session with no less than six miniature dachshund puppies was a highlight that residents and staff will remember for a long time.
The adorable little pups have everyone in the home grinning from ear to ear. No one has been able to resist their gorgeous eyes and floppy ears. This is the sort of therapy that works for everyone and brightens up everyone's day.
PAT Dog Visits
Senna the beautiful PAT dog was here to visit his favourite friends at Paternoster House this week. Everyone loves seeing Senna and he clearly loves us!
Animal therapy is an important and regular part of our Activities calendar here at Paternoster House. Interaction with animals is fun, therapeutic and stimulating.
Performing Pets Visit
The wonderful team from Performing Pets have been in today spreading laughter and joy. Their cuddly and colourful animals were a great hit with the residents and staff!
The team were fantastic and went from room to room to ensure that every resident had the opportunity to meet their super friendly budgies and rabbits.
Performing Pets are going to be visiting us regularly over the next few months with different animals each time.
National Carers Week
During National Carers Week we have been showing our appreciation to all our wonderful carers. All of our front line heroes have shown courage and resilience during a time unlike any we have been through before.
We appreciate all that you do for the vulnerable people in our care to help them live each day to the fullest and celebrate life.
Thank You For Your Compassion - You Are Incredible
Pride Week At Paternoster House
Paternoster House celebrated Pride Week by decorating in a riot of rainbow colours.
We have been learning about the history of the Pride movement, its challenges and the ways that we can get involved. Many of our residents reminisced about the changes they have seen occur in society, film and law throughout their lives. We celebrated the differences that make us such an interesting culture.
