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.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
