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.

Life at Paternoster House Care Home
Garden Make-Over
Our hardworking gardening team has created a new space for residents to enjoy the sunshine over the coming months.
We are very fortunate with the size of our grounds at Paternoster House as we have large lawns, courtyards and flower gardens. One area of the gardens had been a little forgotten during the winter months, but has seen a dramatic transformation this week.
Once overgrown and unloved, this patio is now wonderfully bright and open. Our residents have been enjoying the sunshine over the Bank Holiday weekend. We are looking forward to holding our summer BBQs here now!
St Patrick's Day
St Patrick's Day was celebrated at Paternoster House with the obligatory green hats, Guinness, accents and Irish music.
A lot of fun was had by the residents with the music being enjoyed all day.
Hydration Week
Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood.
You should drink plenty of fluids such as water, diluted squash and fruit juice to stay hydrated. The key is to drink regularly throughout the day (at least 6-8 mugs).
STAY HYDRATED STAY HEALTHY

World Book Day
For World Book Day our residents were visited by some iconic book characters.
We've had a fantastic day of rereading some of our favourite books together and discussing why we love them so much.
National Oreo Day
To be honest we were not fully convinced that National Oreo Day was a real thing, but we were happy to grab any excuse that led to Paternoster House being full of delicious Oreo inspired treats!
As we looked into the history of America's favourite 'cookie', we sampled a range of Oreo products and rated them against our own favourite biscuits.
International Women's Day
As part of our International Women's Day celebrations our staff and residents have been choosing and discussing their favourite quotes from some of the women who inspire them.
Our discussions have centred around how and why these women have inspired us personally, their achievements, their legacies and the challenges they have faced.
