On behalf of our Fur Babies

Jodie from Greenhithe

Just a gentle reminder leading into warmer days that dogs left in cars need a decent airflow... inside of cars heat up really really quickly and leaving an inch gap in one or two windows is NOT enough air for them in the heat. I’ve seen and heard two dogs this morning … View more
Hi dear neighbours
Just a gentle reminder leading into warmer days that dogs left in cars need a decent airflow... inside of cars heat up really really quickly and leaving an inch gap in one or two windows is NOT enough air for them in the heat. I’ve seen and heard two dogs this morning stressed out in cars.. one in the Greenhithe school car park and one at the shops... so please please on behalf of our fur babies... take your valuables and open those windows up! Cheers

Time spent in respite care can range from a single night to a few weeks. It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.

May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”

Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.
