Older people can worry about having a fall, so much so that their activity reduces and they move less. Their strength decreases, affecting their balance and the risk of a fall increases. We want to know how many Neighbourly members who are over 65 have had a fall or fear falling?

We value our older people and want them to stay well and independent. We want them to Live Stronger for Longer. We’ll share more about why we’re asking next week.

Why are we linked to Te Puke's Neighbourly?

Barry from Otorohanga District

Just asking, not complaining. It's nice to have a much wider audience (James Parlane will be ecstatic) But I am mystified as to why Te Puke, Lake Rotoma and Kawerau etc., are now connected to the Waipa/Otorohanga/Waitomo Neighbourly page.

When I asked the people at Neighbourly HQ if I could post a notice about Otorohanga's Steamfest last year on pages around the Central North Island I was told it was not permitted.. Now we are getting all sorts of advertising stuff from all over the place.

At Lara Lodge we aim to provide green leafed herbs and vegetables straight from our very own organic kitchen garden. We produce our own herb teas and medicinal remedies too! We operate on a 0% waste policy in the commercial kitchen and have reduced commercial waste by 55%.

In our garden you will find worm farms and composting methods such as Bokashi, where all living waste material is shredded and then used to provide nutrients for our organic garden.

By the end of this year, we aim to have minimised the use of chemicals and to be the first commercial business and building with zero footprint!

Our staff are so excited about this aim and vision that they are actively participating and learning by taking some of these principles home to their own families. Our direct neighbours are joining in and assisting also and we are actively exchanging ideas on how our small group can make a big difference.

We have won Auckland Council garden competitions and aim to be an exemplary Dynamic Backyard. Check out the Dynamic Backyard facebook page for our garden's past achievements.

Every day our residents benefit from and taste the difference of our fresh garden produce.
