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.

Life at Paternoster House Care Home
A Trip to the Local!
Good food, good company and once again we were made to feel so welcome at our local pub, The Queens Head and our Mr B knew it as The Bloomers , apparently a good few pints were drunk back in his day!
Puppy Love
Thank you so much to Performing Pets for sharing these adorable poodle puppies; Two Tone Tony and his sister Tilly. They bought so much love into our home with Paternoster House residents and staff over joyed to watch these little characters running and playing along the corridors. They were also very happy to have a cuddle from us all!
George walks for all Nannies and Grandads
Congratulations George for completing the Memory Walk to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Society. George's nanny is a Paternoster House resident and to support the fundraising we have also held a raffle in the home.
The amazing George said "My name is George and I am five years old. My nanny lives at Paternoster House on Memory Lane. My nanny is living with Alzheimers. I am walking to raise money for my nanny and all the other nanny and grandads who have sore heads."
Date Night for a Special Anniversary
Suited and booted and looking very smart. Resident Colin’s wish was to make his and Beryl’s 49th wedding anniversary a special occasion by booking a table, arranging flowers to be delivered and a heartfelt written card; which with the help of the Paternoster team we made possible and you can see the date was a great success.
Beryl looked lovely and everyone at Paternoster House would like to congratulate these wonderful couple on your 49th wedding anniversary, so glad you both enjoyed your meal at the Woodbine Inn chosen by Colin himself.
Paternoster House Crowned Most Colourful Business Frontage
Paternoster House Staff, Residents and the Senior General Manager were invited to attend the 2023 Waltham Abbey in Bloom/Horticultural presentation. We were absolutely delighted to be awarded the Most Colourful Business Frontage.
Our staff and residents work together to ensure that the home is always well presented and our lovely families and visitors are always greeted by the smell of flowers as they arrive. Many of our residents use to front garden to relax and spend time with their loved ones.
All of the team at Paternoster House are over the moon with this Award!
A Day at the Seaside
With a choice of seaside towns to visit Westcliff-On-Sea was today’s choice and although the sun didn’t shine it certainly did not stop the fun! We had a lovely fish and chip lunch, a delightful stroll along the beach, having fun with the residents with lots of giggles and daring Sandy our activities coordinator to take a dip in the sea! Before driving back to Paternoster House resident, Doreen helped everyone to choose their favourite flavour ice cream!
