What are the best home features for people who aren't fully abled?

Mikaela Wilkes Reporter from Homed

Hi everyone, I'm Mikaela, a Stuff Homed reporter. A recent episode of Grand Designs UK, about a Paralympian whose marriage broke up during the build of his dream home, got us thinking. What are the best design features/products for a home if you are not fully abled? We'd like to hear from people who have adjusted their homes in some way to make life with a disability easier.

Heartbeats Cardiac Support and Rehab Group at St Heliers Community Centre

Trent Lash from Heartbeats Eastern Bays

Heartbeats, the largest non-profit, community-led cardiac support group in New Zealand is meeting at the St Heliers Community Centre this Thursday, 12th February at 10:00am.

Meetings are informal, friendly and open to ALL heart patients, heart event survivors, their partners, family and whanau.

Having heart disease or facing major heart surgery can be lonely and very frightening. Come along and meet heart people who have all gone through the same thing, or are currently dealing with arrythmias, diabetes, COPD, or very high or low blood pressure.

Heartbeats is not a social group (although we are very social). It is a full support group for education, mental health support and helping with recovery and rehabilitation.

Hope to see you are our St Heliers/Glendowie Heartbeats launch on Thursday.

For more information: call Trent on 022 0606 199

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
