If you still live in your own home, a short stay at one of our care centres could be a welcome break from your usual routine.
Our respite care is offered at rest home-level care, hospital and specialist dementia care. In some circumstances, we may be able to offer you respite care in a serviced apartment.
If you've been thinking about moving to a Ryman care centre, spending time with us in respite care is a great way for you to experience the lifestyle in our villages before making your decision.

Sew onto a garment as an embellishment, trim a hem or seam, glue it onto a craft or scrapbook project such as a tablecloth, hand towel, baby bag, sewing box or apron or use it to tie around napkins, favour boxes or bags etc
100% Polypropylene - not suitable for very hot ironing as it may cause the ribbon to shine
I have:
2 reels each of Yellow, Hot Pink, Orange & Turquoise
1 reel each of White & Red

10mm RicRac usually sells for $2.50 - $3.50 per metre so buying a reel like this is a great saving.

The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
