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.

These will be handed out to residents as well as being used to make the home look lovely.

Along side this our fantastic Activities team have a whole host of Valentine's themed activities planned for the day.
Happy Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day Fun
In preparation for Valentine's Day we held a photo-shoot for the residents and staff.
It was a fun afternoon and we had a lot of funny and romantic stories to share about our favourite Valentine's Days.
We have big plans for Valentine's Day itself so watch this space for more news.
Chocolate Heaven
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, staff and residents at Paternoster House were treated to an interactive virtual cookery demo courtesy of chef, Alex Connell, from Vegetarian for Life.
Chef Alex created some Valentine’s Day-inspired vegetarian desserts in a live, interactive cookery demo. Much to residents’ delight, head chef James had prepared the same recipes so that residents could try all the delicious desserts. First, residents sampled a wonderful sticky toffee pudding which was absolutely heavenly. Then they tried Alex’s hazelnut truffles which were a huge hit and finally they were treated to Alex’s Chocolate Orange Cake.
Puppy Therapy
Fluffy, cuddly, adorable puppies!
Once again Performing Pets bring joy and delight to the residents of Paternoster House. Today the wonderful Performing Pets team brought three gorgeous Alsatian puppies to meet the residents.
Residents and staff alike were queuing up to meet these lovely bundles of fur. Animal therapy is an essential part of our Activities Calendar and our partnership with Performing Pets has been hugely successful.
Putting Up The Tree
Residents and staff have all been involved in decorating our Christmas trees and our home. We have been handcrafting beautiful ornaments, ribbons and table displays all week.
Paternoster House looks fantastically Christmassy and the countdown to the big day is really underway.
Christmas Carol Concert
We had a fantastic time when one of our favourite singers visited to perform classic Christmas carols and get us into the festive spirit.
Residents and staff were singing along and enjoying the festive atmosphere.
