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
Boat Trip
Residents enjoyed a lovely boat trip along the river Lee with staff members. We had some cream teas and experienced what it was liked to go through a lock in beautiful sunshine. We have already had requests for another trip.
School Visit
On 12th June, we invited Upshire Primary School into Paternoster to say a huge thank you for all the Christmas concerts they have done for us over the years.
We hosted a BBQ and had an entertainer in as well. Resident, Michael, then presented the children with an iPod as a special thank you.
Residents joined the children and loved seeing them laughing at the show and had a go at balloon modelling themselves.
We are looking to start a joint reading scheme in September, with the children coming in to read to residents, as we have such a lovely relationship with our local school.
Sunshine Nursery Visit
On Tuesday 27th March, Paternoster House received a fun-filled visit from the children at Sunshine Nursery. They took part in various Easter activities, including bonnet decorating and an egg hunt. Residents enjoyed singing along to nursery rhymes with the children as they did a mini performance. It was a lovely morning and we look forward to seeing them again soon.
Tai Chi Session
On Thursday 22nd March, residents enjoyed participating in a tai chi session. Tai chi originates from China and has spread worldwide and made its way into Paternoster House. The session was a success and we look forward another visit very soon.
Valentine's Day
Residents enjoyed a dining experience with a Valentine’s theme, and everyone received a treat to mark the occasion.
Sing Sing Sing
On Tuesday 25th May, residents had a fun afternoon interacting with 'Sing Sing Sing,’ the community choir who kindly visited Paternoster House to perform. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part - residents had a lovely time.
