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.

Arts, Crafts And Displays
Residents at Paternoster House have been enjoying their craft club this week and have designed a range of displays and creations.
From personalised photo frames to displays for Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day, the residents at Paternoster House have been very creative this week whilst also trying some Chinese delicacies and preparing for our Valentine's Day celebrations later this month.
The Memory Lane Sweet Shop
Something new has opened at Paternoster House!
Our brand new Memory Lane Sweet Shop was opened this week. Featuring a range of classic sweets and chocolates along with modern favourites, our sweet shop is located on our Memory Lane community.
The team and residents have spent weeks building, decorating and stocking the sweet shop and special thanks must go to the local community for donating a range of sweet-themed decorations and to EE for the Candy Canes.
Our sweet shop will be available for residents to go and choose some favourites, enjoy a cup of tea and a chat with friends. The shop has been designed as a relaxing social space. We opened today with glasses of bubbly for those involved in creating this fun addition to our home.
Early Christmas Gifts
The pupils at King Harold Primary School have been very generous and delivered all of these wonderful gift boxes for our residents. What a fantastic gesture at this time of year.
The residents of Paternoster House are overjoyed that there are so many people thinking of them this Christmas.
Thank you again to all involved and Merry Christmas.
Wonderful Gifts From Upshire Primary School

Thank you again and Merry Christmas to all.
