Experience the Ryman Care Difference

It’s hard to put your finger on why Ryman care centres just feel different. Perhaps it’s our constant drive to improve through innovations such as our myRyman Care app and Delicious menu, or perhaps it’s the genuine warmth of the care we provide.

Our 'Experience the Care Difference’ guide paints a picture of the care, kindness and comfort that our residents experience every day. It offers a comprehensive guide to rest home, hospital and specialist dementia care, as well as our serviced apartment options.

The landfill is causing environmental damage and much distress to Hokio residents and is releasing toxic gases into the air that all Levin residents are actually breathing in ....and here it is nearly the end of November! Some of us are waiting with great anticipation to hear this piece of information. Unlike certain American leaders our Kiwi leaders keep their promises! Come on councillors don't keep us in suspense.

BEES-WAX CHRISTMAS CANDLES TO BUY OR MAKE YOUR OWN

These are made from NZ beeswax, and have extra long wicks so they can hung on a Christmas tree. We have a few in his road-side honesty stall outside 217 Foxton-Shannon Road, or we will take pre-orders with 20% off. We can deliver to Levin, and probably Palmerston North before Christmas. The moulded candles are $3-5 before the 20% off, and the small coloured tapers are $2.

I am running Candle-Making classes if you want to make your own Christmas candles. Classes starting at $14 to make three candles (a moulded candle, a coloured dip candle and an ice candle). Private/group session to make what you want with a cost of $100 per kg of wax, ($20 minimum). I also plan to do drop-in sessions for kids just to make the dip candles ($2 to add colour to a taper candle, and $7 to make a large candle from scratch.)
