It fully replicates everyday life in a suburban neighbourhood within a safe, secure setting. They have the freedom to do what they like – within reason – retaining a sense of purpose and dignity.

We want to change how we care for older New Zealanders, particularly those living with dementia. Together as a community, we must set the bar higher. We have an opportunity to redefine aged care in New Zealand. Be part of a legacy.

Thanks to the brave and quick actions of these members of the public (pictured centre and centre right) – an offender who was trying to make a getaway after stealing money from a Henderson dairy was stopped and swiftly arrested. 👏

Earlier this month, one of the owners of the store was working behind the counter when a man entered the store and demanded money.

He walked behind the counter to the cash register and took a large sum of money, but the owner very quickly managed to activate the anti-theft smoke canon and the offender fled the shop.

Seeing what happened, the members of the public chased the offender and caught him, holding him until Police arrived soon afterwards.

He was then arrested and taken into custody.

A 40-year-old man has been charged with theft and was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court last week.

The money taken was returned to the dairy owners (pictured on the left), who were very grateful to those who stepped in to help.

A great result and example of people going above and beyond to look out for people in their local community.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & New Year.

We had time in Southland with my partner's Mum where we enjoyed good food, wine, company, dog walks on the beautiful Estuary Boardwalk & relaxation.

We then drove up to Bannockburn where I caught up with my family for Christmas & my partner hung out with more of her family & shared some special time sprinkling her recently passed Stepdad's ashes.

We both enjoyed a night on my brother's vineyard (check it out here www.calvertvineyard.co.nz...) in 5 star airbnb accomodation - great company, wine & food. After a lovely lunch we drove back to Dunedin & enjoyed further relaxing, sunny days reading in the garden.

Our level of inquiry for new opportunities has increased markedly as the effects of the recent lockdown become more apparent impacting traditional businesses & jobs alike. We feel so grateful to be running our online business from home. In times of crisis / great change Personal Development & Success Mindset Coaching becomes more sought after. It has been our delight to be here offering something else to those that find themselves out of income.

Lace up your boots! It’s time to tackle these lesser-known summer walking trails

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

There’s no doubt that Wānaka’s iconic Roy’s Peak Track is worth the attention it receives on Instagram, but tackle this 5-6 hour track instead and you’ll be able to capture those magical alpine vistas, without having to queue up at the summit.

There’s no doubt that Wānaka’s iconic Roy’s Peak Track is worth the attention it receives on Instagram, but tackle this 5-6 hour track instead and you’ll be able to capture those magical alpine vistas, without having to queue up at the summit.

You’ll start out following Stewart Creek, then climb uphill and eventually reach a ridge. The undulating terrain and steep sections can be tough, but you’ll forget how tired you are when you glimpse those sweet views of Lake Wānaka, Lake Hāwea and the Southern Alps.

Getting there: The track start is just off the SH6 about a half-hour drive from Wānaka.

Want more? The Queenstown Hill walk is a local favourite, with stunning alpine views and a trail that can be completed in a few hours.

New cyclists and those rediscovering the joys of biking are believed to be behind an increase in ACC claims.

Cycling Action Network spokesman Patrick Morgan said biking had boomed in popularity since New Zealand went into lockdown in March, causing a bicycle shortage. Many of those buying bikes and e-bikes were older people rediscovering the hobby, he said.

Bike trainer and e-bike specialist Megan Page said one of the best things new cyclists and those returning to cycling could do was to train with a qualified Bike Ready instructor.
