Activities at Paternoster House Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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
Raising Our Glass for International Sherry Week!
Paternoster House residents greatly enjoyed celebrating International Sherry Week! We raised a glass every day before dinner and the residents agreed that this will be on the shopping list for Christmas tipples!
Joyful Entertainment
We started this week with a wonderful performance from one of our many talented entertainers, David. He got us up dancing and tapping our feet as well has waving our hands in the air. The power of music to lift mood and our general well-being is shown by how happy the residents are when we have entertainment.
A dream Come True
One of Paternoster House's special couples had a dream come true when Shirley was able to visit Barry downstairs instead of Barry going upstairs. With the support of the team Shirley has been able to move into a chair and it filled our hearts to see how happy they both were.
Halloween Treats all Round
Paternoster House have been busy over the past couple of weeks crafting with autumn leaves to make vases for our beautiful flowers that we arranged today, along with making sweet treats for the local nursery that visited us weekly in the summer.
It has been a truly special Halloween with so many children in the home and with the amazing pumpkin carving creations we just couldn’t choose a winner so everyone is a winner.
Spooky Pudding Club!
Our residents, families and staff definitely had a treat with our monthly Pudding Club.
This month we spoke with the children who visit regularly their Nan’s, Granddads, great Nannies and Great Granddads and they too wanted to treat their love ones with these delicious puddings, so the activities team gave Chef Sam the brief.
Halloween was the theme and yet again Sam didn’t disappoint with amazing puddings from Toffee Apple Sponge, Salted Caramel Spiders Web Tart to Chocolate Cupcakes with Orange Buttercream. Maddie and Sandy had the trick of taking the Halloween Pudding trolley around to all the communities without dropping these wonderful puddings and they succeeded with everyone enjoying the treat!
Star Puts the Clocks Back!
The latest update on our kitten Star is her new adventures on Parklands where she certainly is making herself at home. She was making sure the clocks was turned back so she could get an extra hour’s sleep in her basket after playing and tiring herself out on her new climbing scratching post!
