Summer safety checklist: Fall-proofing your home

The Team from ACC New Zealand

With warmer weather heading our way, gardening is a great way to stay fit and get regular doses of Vitamin D to help strengthen our bones.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!

A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Parents and Grandparents welcome to bring their kids or grandkids, free coffee, tea and bikkies, you are welcome to leave a koha in our box and enjoy an hour out of the house with us at The Rose Centre:

11am December 17 - Judy Lawn

11am December 19 - Norah Wilson reads "My Sweet Girl and the bag of purple balloons".

11am December 20 - Geoff Allen will read his brand new book "The Fairies of Down Under and Other Pākehā Tales"

11am December 21 - we don't have the author of this best seller, but local friend of The Rose Centre Gail Kapa will read the Te Reo version "Paraweta", whilst John Davies from The Rose Centre will read the English, "Poo Bum"!

There is no registration for the events, it's general admission, show up, and if we go over 110 visitors we will just have to apologise...but we think this is a more than manageable number on the grounds of probability! Koha only, donate what you can afford and if that's zero, it's zero. We would like to help you with an activity and we'd love you to help us with our never ending spend but we know the pressure for families at Christmas!

Thanks to Gecko Press we also have one kids book from their lovely lineup to give away each day. It'll be a mystery who will win till the day!
