We welcome Liz to Roseneath

Heritage Lifecare from Roseneath Lifecare & Village

Liz took over as Manager of Roseneath Lifecare & Village in May 2022. It was like a homecoming for Liz as she believes she was born just up the road. “From the first day I entered the front door it felt like home,” she says.

Liz’s family association with the Wairarapa goes back to her great-great-great-great-grandfather, Henry Burling, who was the first person to enter the Wairarapa by foot from Wellington. Her early years were on a farm at the Taratahi Training Centre, where her dad worked, and then on a farm east of Eketahuna.

Prior to Liz’s role at Roseneath, she had been a Business Operations Manager in the public sector and had managed several other retirement facilities. She welcomed the opportunity to come back into elder care using her people and management skills.

Liz says, “We have very experienced staff who truly care for our resident’s wellbeing, both in the Care Home and Independent Villas.”

She particularly enjoys the very special homely and friendly atmosphere at Roseneath. “I love the difference I can make to a residents’ life; listening to their stories; seeing the pleasure they get in joining in with recreational activities; and the special care received by our staff. I’m lucky to be leading a team of brilliant, caring staff to ensure that every resident has ‘A Better Everyday’.”

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!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
