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.
Sandy Phillips
Hello, my name is Sandy and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Paternoster House. I have worked at the home for just over a year starting as part of the hospitality team, but when the opportunity to work as part of the activities team I jumped at the chance. I have a background in working as an activities coordinator for children's activities at the local leisure centres, along with craft clubs after school and Messy play for toddlers.
I am creative and working wit the team we are all bringing new ideas for activities and events as well as still running firm favourites! My passion is about enhancing the lives of the residents from individual time through to big celebratory events. We ensure we plan a varied and interesting programme of activities and events.
As a team we are committed to Barchester's Life Enrichment programme ensuring we work with mind, body and soul.

The absolute joy on the faces of our residents seeing the home decorated ready for Easter and being hand delivered Easter treats is heart warming. Good Friday was as good as it gets!
Easter Bonnet Donation
We are so lucky to have wonderful community friends that really care about our residents and their well being.
Daniel Robinson & sons have very kindly donated Easter Bonnets and Easter crafts for our residents to enjoy over this special weekend.

Wedding Anniversary
Please join us to congratulate Barry and Shirley on their 57th wedding anniversary. Celebrating in style, spending an afternoon together. Both Barry and Shirley live at Paternoster so being able to enjoy each other’s company on such a special day was a day they both said that they will always remember.
Paternoster House Residents Attend Local Community Group
Paternoster House went along to the 3 Social & Warm Space 4U which is run on the last Friday of the month in the Waltham Abbey Baptist Church. It is a dementia cafe for those at all stages of dementia and memory loss and their loved ones and carers.
Everyone loved the sing-along and dance and we were naturally the first on the dance floor! It was then eyes down for a game of bingo and our lovely resident violet won a beautiful orchid. We also took part in the quiz and were very grateful for Diane’s knowledge of 60s music and films making us runners up in the end.
The residents greatly enjoyed being part of this social event and we will be back next month!
