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.

Life at Paternoster House Care Home
Food Bank
Here at Paternoster House, we know just how hard life could be right now for many individuals/families, therefore we thought we would try and do our bit for our community and start up a food bank.
All food will be donated to 3Food4U which is a fantastic food bank running in several areas within Essex.
