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. So, for the inside knowledge into what makes a Ryman care centre different, check out our guide.

Hullo Neighbourly folk, I thought you might be interested in the recent poll on having a holiday on your birthday.
The results were a surprise. Who would have thought that nearly 70 per cent of you do not want to get a paid day of leave on your birthday.

The latest trend???
Roadway Graffiti!
What a mess. Seems to self there is a lot of dangerous 'skidding / burnouts' occurring recently. Roadside berms and green spaces are also getting churned up.
Does the engine noise of this activity wake people up?
Any comments?

When Clifford Hallett blows out the candles on his cake in a couple of weeks, he'll likely wish for an extra leave day to celebrate.
Hallett has launched a petition to Parliament requesting it pass legislation to give all employees that right.
Tell us what you think.
