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
Christmas Party Fun!
We were delighted so many families could join us for our fantastic Christmas party with great company, a delicious buffet and the popular drinks trolley which went down a treat! Thank you so much to the talented U3A Singing for Fun Choir who entertained us and certainly got us all in the Christmas spirit.
Roller Coaster Ride For Residents!
It is day 13 of our Christmas Count Down and the excitement was building for our mystery tour for residents and what a treat it was. We visited the Lakeside Christmas Wonderland and with the help of the wonderful Paternoster House team we went on several rides! It is worth watching the videos on Facebook! It may have been wet but it didn’t stop us having so much fun and we soon warmed up with a lovely hot drink in a beautiful cosy café.
CD for the Winner!
Christmas Jumper Day was a great success and to top it all off we had the wonderful David Brierley to entertain us too. True to his word there was a CD for the winner! It really was a fun day with everyone getting involved with some great t-shirts and jumpers being worn. The Paternoster penguin is never far from the action!
Happy St Andrew's Day
Oh what a night.....
Paternoster House residents and staff had a fabulous evening at the Waltham Abbey Cavalcade of Lights. What an absolute honour to be in the parade and to see Alfie switch on the lights and be given his gift of an overnight stay to Legoland Windsor for his family. We cannot thank the amazing Paternoster families, residents and team for making Alfie's dream come true. 11 Year old Alfie has been fighting Osteosarcoma (Bone cancer) over the past Seven Months.
The team came together to make the Paternoster House Mini Bus look just like it was made for a carnival! Before the parade we were invited for drinks at the Waltham Abbey Town Council, we then took part in the parade around the town with the team handing out sweets and leaflets alongside the minibus in the slightly chilly weather! The residents had a ball waving to the children as we drove by and even picking up celebrity guest Bobby Norris in the minibus to save him the walk back!
Thank you so much to all of those who took part, we cannot wait until next year!
These Hands.....
These hands with the poppy give such a poignant image of Remembrance, many of our residents were children during World War 2 or born during war time. They are forever grateful that family members returned, but sadly many lost relatives they would never get to know. Paternoster House created a display of Remembrance as well as photographing these hands......
