Starting a conversation about care isn’t always easy but like many things, sometimes you just need to take the first step.
To help nurture those conversations, we invite you to our Care Centre Open Days at your local Ryman village. A tour will give you first-hand experience of our village communities and the exceptional care we provide. Care options include the extra support of a serviced apartment, resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care.
Can arrange local delivery if required, anything to save these old drawers from going to the tip! PM if interested.

Covid-19 tracer app.
New Zealand is still exposed to the new, more contagious, strains of Covid-19 despite the Government recently bolstering its border and pre-departure defences.
The number of daily Covid-19 tracer app scans has dropped from one million a day, at its height, to the current low of 300,000.
That means that if the more contagious variants get into the community, it will be hard to trace contacts.
Are you scanning? If not why not?
If you do not want your comments used by Stuff please put NFP.
If that hair on your neck was bothering you in the heat all week, pop in and solve that problem today! We are open 10-4pm every Saturday and Sunday
Do you have a doggo/kurī? Then we want to hear from you!
We're asking local dog owners to take this short survey to help us better understand how Wellingtonians use our dog services and how they could be improved.
It only takes 5 minutes to complete! Just head to: ap1se.voxco.com...
