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
Talented Jamie Callis
An amazing morning as always here at Paternoster House with the very talented Jamie Callis - Solo Artist.
Everyone enjoyed a festive morning being entertained by Jamie as he sang a range of Christmas hits. The whole room was dancing and singing away, and everyone sure did have a fantastic time.
Magical Christmas trip to garden centre
A magical trip out to Tyndall's Garden Centre on Friday afternoon as part of our life enrichment programme for a spot of Christmas shopping.
Residents enjoyed looking around the garden centre at all the pretty Christmas decorations and could not resist a bite to eat in their coffee shop.
Singing by heart
A Christmas Singalong special hosted by Major Sharon King from Waltham Abbey Salvation Army Church.
Today we held our monthly singing by heart dementia friendly choir group and were joined by Laura from Epping Forest Dementia Action Alliance. Everyone enjoyed a festive afternoon with a selection of traditional Christmas carols sang by all.
This group will run at Paternoster House on the first Monday of the month and is available to all, so why not pop down and join in the fun.

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.
