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
Lee Valley White Water Rafting Centre
Our residents have thoroughly enjoyed a trip to Lea Valley White Water Rafting Centre this week.
The Centre is used for Olympic training across a range of water sports.
Our residents had a blast cheering on the white water daredevils as they battled the waves and currents of this challenging course. After being impressed with the skills on show by the Olympic hopefuls our residents went for a takeaway lunch before heading home.
Birthday Celebrations
This week we helped Pearl celebrate her 80th birthday along with her daughter and best friend of 65 years.
It is wonderful for residents to once again be able to have family and loved ones join them in the home to celebrate life's key milestones.
Live Cooking Event
As part of National Vegetarian Week, our residents and Head Chef took part in a live cooking event run by Barchester expert chef Alex.
With the cooking in the home following the live show, residents were delighted with the results. All Barchester chefs are fantastic and have wonderfully high standards, but each home is sure that theirs is the best!
The vegetarian dishes produced from the event were delicious.
For The Love Of Baking
The Paternoster House Baking Club has been hard at work filling the home with the delicious smell of freshly baked chocolate cakes this week.
Our waistlines may not thank us but our taste buds certainly will!
Later this week we will be baking cakes to donate to local front-line NHS teams.
Spring Time In-Door Gardening
This week has seen the residents at Paternoster House helping to get the garden pots and trays looking Spring-ready.
We have been designing flower trays, potting plants and reading up on our gardeners guides. The residents have been full of ideas and inspiration from the gardens they have tended over the years. We are aiming to have some fantastic looking gardens and window displays by the time Summer arrives.
