Entering permanent care can be a daunting task

Acacia Cove Village

Whether you are in the midst of a crisis, or at the stage that either you or your spouse need to enter permanent care, it can be a very daunting task. Acacia Cove offers independent living while having nurses either onsite or on call 24/7.

The Directors of Acacia Cove recognised how difficult it was for couples to separate as one moved into full-time care and so facilitated the sale of land close by to Bupa NZ Ltd to build a facility that our residents had access to. This has proved to be very successful. However, only a really low percentage of people ever need to move into full-time care, because ideally the District Health Boards would prefer to find home-based support to keep people in their own homes.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
