Wally is an 11 year old Huntaway looking for a new home. He is a very loving, affectionate dog who has some jealousy issues. Therefore needs to be an only pet.
He is getting on in years so doesn't need a lot of exercise, but does need a lot of attention. A retired person who could spend time with him would be ideal.
If you would be interested in giving Wally a better life & would like to meet him please send Paula an email.

Yesterday at Care 4 You a client emailed me about buying a new microwave, saying we would go and pick the microwave and then she would pay for it to be delivered, as microwaves are not heavy, i said no
i would lift the microwave, i do not want you to pay for a delivery fee. We went home, and i took the old microwave away and the box of the new microwave, she was delighted. These may seem like small things but as we age, things like these are not easy and should not have to cost extra. At Care 4 You if we have a solution to a problem, we will go the extra mile, and it will not cost extra. Contact Suzanne for any Caregiving / Driving / Companionship Services, Ph: 021 024 36944.

Hi Neighbours!

Have you heard about our Community Connects grants?

The grants help fund projects that promote the inclusion and contribution of older people in community life, and support communities to prepare for an ageing population.

The fund makes one-off grants of up to $15,000. The grants are open to any New Zealand council, community organisation, or registered non-profit organisation. Applications for our current funding round close on 9 October.

Our last funding round was a huge success and helped fund a range of different projects across the country, that had focuses like reducing loneliness and social isolation of older people, developing an age-friendly community plan and supporting people with dementia.

With the right planning and support, we can create environments where older people are valued, connected and able to participate in their community.

If you have an age-friendly project you are interested in getting funding for click here bit.ly...
Or if would like to learn more about how your community can become more age-friendly click here bit.ly...
