Activities at Paternoster House Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.

Something Magical In Our Garden
As part of our regular gardening club, staff and residents have been busy creating a Fairy Garden. This garden is interactive for both residents and relatives, and we welcome any new fairies who appear!
John's Gardening Tips
Resident John is a keen gardener and knows more than a thing-or-two about roses. John took our Activities team to the local garden centre to purchase some of his favourite (Whiskey Mac) roses to be planted in one of our courtyards. John then provided a gardening lesson to the team and a couple of residents.
Our gardening club is constantly hard at work ensuring that all the residents have wonderful outdoor spaces to enjoy in the summer sun. Our courtyards and extensive gardens are beautiful, so please feel free to pop in to view these.
'Our' Mayor Shane
We would like to congratulate Shane, who is one of our Activities Coordinators, on becoming Mayor of Waltham Abbey.
We are so proud of him and our residents were overjoyed seeing him wearing his chain of office. We can’t wait to book him for an official appearance so he can visit our residents in his official capacity.

A wonderful afternoon spent with Creative Mojo Hertford and Stevenage. Residents loved their session painting and colouring and enjoyed making something for the nurses to say thank you for all they do for the residents
Coronation party
This weekend we celebrated our new king by throwing a big coronation party involving residents from every unit
Our lovely residents were each given a flag as they entered the main lounge to watch the fantastic Jamie Callis singing live
Our residents, family & friends sang along and waived their flags with pride and were then treated to tea & cake in the cafe area
As you can see fun was had by all involved
