Respite and Carer Support

Charles Upham Retirement Village

Respite care is a great short break option for a family member or loved one that also helps give carers some time out to recharge the batteries. There are a range of circumstances which might require respite overnight or support for day care.

It could be needed after a hospital stay or just as a little extra support for caregivers. Respite care ranges from a few days and even up to a few weeks. A loved one, who lives in their own home, will have their short respite stay in one of our village centres.

Raspberry plants (4 plants for $30)

Richard from Rangiora

This sale is for purchases of four raspberry plants (4x $10 plants for $30)

Pick up my free ‘How To Grow Raspberries’ guide with your purchase.

I also have some individual raspberries ($15 and $20 each) and some thornless blackberries ($15-$25 each)

Discounts for bulk purchases. All plants are in top-quality soil.

All raspberries have been transplanted from existing Clutha, Heritage and Lewis varieties. They produce fantastic raspberries. The thornless blackberries are Black Satin.

Pick up in Rangiora. However, for an $80 purchase, I'm happy to deliver within 30 minutes of Rangiora for an extra $10.

We need to exchange mobile numbers before pickup.

If you are concerned about how to keep berries contained or want advice on growing them I’m happy to explain and give you a 2-page ‘How To’ guide.
