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
Eyes Down Everyone
Clickety-Click Eyes down Everybody!
Our residents love a spot of prize BINGO, the winners basket of goodies is bountiful so it's all to play for. Winning aside, concentrating on marking your ticket and listening to the numbers being called help with motor skills and hand-eye coordination... albeit in a very fun way.
Cheers to Friendships
Cheers! Friday is trip to the local day for a pint. Residents and good friends Michael and Barry love getting together at McMullen's Brewing & Pubs The Queen's Head for a catch up on the week's events.
Afternoon Tea in the Sunshine
Our residents have been enjoying the summer sun with afternoon tea on the terrace just outside Woodlands garden. The ladies loved the pink party vibe.
Mindfulness Monday
A morning of 'Mindful Colouring' can help focus the mind, improve concentration and calms moods. The sense of achievement our residents enjoy is clear as they choose the different colours to use, and relax into carefully completing each picture.
Music for Health
Our residents had a wonderful interactive Music for Health session with Anastasia Cole. We were pom-pom swirling (and wearing), quizzing and she had us up singing and dancing, it was definitely a fun packed session for all abilities.
Gentleman's Club
It's not just the 'ladies that lunch' at Paternoster House, our gentlemen also like a get together over afternoon tea, and as the weather was so good last Thursday they took to the garden for a catch up over board games in the sun and summer air.
