About Paternoster House

Paternoster House is a nursing home in Cirencester caring for older people who need qualified nursing alongside help with everyday life, and for younger adults whose nursing needs are best met in a home like ours. Nurses are on duty day and night, so medication, wound care and conditions that need watching are managed here and somebody who becomes unwell is seen straight away. Many of our residents are living with dementia. We keep the day calm and predictable, keep the same staff working with the same people and take time to understand what someone is telling us when words have become difficult. If a person wants to be up and about, we make that safe rather than asking them to sit down. Nursing is the foundation of what we do, but the purpose of it is an ordinary life. Residents choose when they get up, what they eat, where they sit and who comes to visit. Food is cooked here and nobody is hurried through a meal or moved along to suit a timetable, and there is somewhere pleasant to sit outside when the weather allows. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing support for a short period and for family carers who need a proper break. Families are welcome and we would rather hear a worry early than late. Please ring us if you would like to visit and meet the nurses on duty.
