Maintaining independence as we age

Bert Sutcliffe Retirement Village

As we age, mobility and health issues can affect daily routines and independence. It’s natural to want to step in when a loved one faces challenges with tasks they once managed easily. However, instead of taking over completely, finding a balance that offers support while still encouraging independence is key.

Chris Sinclair, Ryman's Community Liaison Leader, shares helpful tips for families and caregivers on how to promote independence and support overall wellbeing.

Please Help New Zealand’s longest running cat café in Birkenhead stay open

Glen from Glenfield

My partner and I frequent Purrs & Beans cat cafe in Birkenhead alot. It's run by a lovely couple that do it primarily to help rescue cats. They both work full-time jobs to support the cafe, but because they have so many special needs cats they have had some massive vet bills in the last few years.

They are running a pledgeme campaign to remain viable, pay off their vet bill debt, and have a buffer for future vet bills. Please check it out at www.pledgeme.co.nz...

Or you can give them a visit, or donate monthly as a Purr Pal and receive complimentary visits. If you're looking to adopt a cat they have rescued kittens/cats that you can meet and fall in love with.

If you can help at all it would be much appreciated.
(I don't work for them, I just appreciate what they do, and all the unpaid hours they've put into this endeavour just to help cats)
