As we age, mobility and health issues can affect daily routines and independence. Itโs natural to want to step in when a loved one faces challenges with tasks they once managed easily.

Itโs 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.

Today I went to Woolworths Cnr Munroe and Dickens Streets, Napier and purchased a 3 litre bottle of Woolworth milk. I got a surprise to see that it had gone up from $5.72 to $5.96.

I got a surprise to see that it had gone up from $5.72 to $5.96. However, when it was scanned at the checkout I was charged $6.06. I was confused and thought I had got the price wrong so went back to check, sure enough the shelf price was $5.96. When making a complaint with the supervisor I was offered a refund of the error difference, but I said this was not right. She then refunded the full amount and told me to keep the milk. If you are concerned about your grocery bill it pays to check and complain if you believe an error has been made.
Sitting in my work van, in the new New World carpark and Iโve been getting dirty looks. I get it. My van is halfway into the driving area. Literally. If you look, even from a distance, youโll see my back end is almost hard against the fence, with my towball around the corner of the fence.

If you look, even from a distance, youโll see my back end is almost hard against the fence, with my towball around the corner of the fence.
My work van is over 6m long and the car parks are only about 4.5m. The only spaces I can park out of the way are the nearest and the furthest corners from the door. And that still means parking across another carpark. Today, both those parks were taken.
Now, before you point out that I shouldnโt bring such a big vehicle to the supermarket, 1) why not? Everyone needs to shop; and 2) I drive a retirement village resident passenger van. And they have as much right to shop as anyone.
Okay, so park in the mobility parks. Nope. I donโt have a Mobility decal or placard. And, those parks are the same length as all the others.
So, if you want to get me to stop blocking the way, do the supermarket survey on your receipts and ask for one way driving around the carpark (clockwise is the most logical and safest) and oversized parks. Almost every other supermarket has them. Vehicles are getting bigger, parks arenโt.
If you are going to the Hawke's Bay Show at the long weekend, call into the exhibition hall to see the entries in the Handmade Section. Next year, you might consider entering yourself as this section isn't what it used to be,

But it's a great cause and we'd love to know if anyone is keen to join us! Please reply or email me in confidence yvonne@yvonnelorkin.com
