DEMENTIA FOR FAMILIES

Christine Campus Manager from Kalandra Education Group

The effect on family life when caring for a loved one with dementia is trying. Especially when they live at home.

In order to care effectively for a person living with dementia you must accept the way things are, and then, introduce change into your life.

Come share and listen to trained staff who understand and want to help.

We'll discuss:
• What dementia is and what living with dementia means
• The grieving process
• Support services and how to access them
• Challenging behaviour and how to respond
• What are the doctors saying and how to understand them
• What happens when keeping your loved one at home is no
longer an option

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
