Looking for Aged Care?
When it comes to everyday life, George Manning makes it easy with village, rest home, hospital, day, respite and palliative care. The well-appointed rest home and hospital rooms all look out onto sheltered courtyards or landscaped gardens, and come complete with ensuites, a nurse call system and WiFi.
Part of the community since 1972, George Manning Lifecare is set amongst sunny rose gardens just a hop, skip and jump from Barrington Mall, where you’ll find all the essentials including a pharmacy, supermarket and cafes.
We offer everything from physiotherapy to podiatry, a scooter bay, SKY TV, hairdressing and health checks. We have a range of recreational activities including indoor bowls, exercise classes, quizzes, and social gatherings. Our facility van is also always on hand for outings.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
