It’s hard to put your finger on why Ryman care centres just feel different. Perhaps it’s our constant drive to improve through innovations such as our myRyman Care app and Delicious menu, or perhaps it’s the genuine warmth of the care we provide.

Our 'Experience the Care Difference’ guide paints a picture of the care, kindness and comfort that our residents experience every day. It offers a comprehensive guide to rest home, hospital and specialist dementia care, as well as our serviced apartment options. So, for the inside knowledge into what makes a Ryman care centre different, check out our guide.

We are downsizing that's why I'm selling my 2 seater couch with cover. There's a slight dent as shown on photo.

Moving out soon in a furnished apartment so I'm selling my leather couch bought from Farmers 3 years ago valued $2500. In good condition. Soft & comfy to sit on but with a little black mark around 2 cm on the middle seat.

Now that summer's finally here and the holidays are just around the corner for many, we'd love to hear about your favourite summer holiday memories. Has there been a trip that you continue to think about years later? Where did you go, with who and what did you get up to? What made it such a stand-out experience? As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article. Cheers.

The Kindness Collective Foundation is bringing Christmas cheer to 250 vulnerable children at these facilities run by the Taonga Education Centre:
Nga Taonga Aroha Early childhood centre in Otara, Aranga Early Childhood centre in Manurewa, Homai Nga Taonga ECC, Manurewa, Nga Taonga Manako ECC, Kelston, Eden Campus ECC, Mt Eden, Kakano Early Childhood Centre in Clendon and Potiki Early Childhood Centre in Clendon.
The Auckland charity has paid for Christmas parties, trees and decorations for each childcare and is buying Christmas presents for the youngsters.
But the giving doesn't stop there.
The charity is donating 80 food boxes and grocery vouchers to childcare families to tide them over during the expensive festive season.
"The Kindness Collective Foundation heard about the hard work we do at our centre to keep our whanau going and they reached out to me to offer their help," said Emma-Jane Jones, centre supervisor of Nga Taonga Aroha Early childhood centre in Otara.
Jones said 2020 had been a tough year financially and she was "blown away" by such a giving gesture.
"At my centre in Otara, I don't have any parents that pay fees so we're always a little bit strapped for cash... and for them to jump on board has been phenomenal."
Jones said she believed in giving preschoolers wrap- around care which extended to their whanau.
"We make sure the children always have clothing, rain jackets and food and that's often coming out of our teachers' pockets."
Jones said that if the charity had not stepped in, she would have had to pay for her centre's Christmas party, which kicks off on Thursday.
"I have four children of my own and my children have learned from a young age that they're privileged in some ways and quite often my children get less so I can support the children in my care," she said.

The flowers at the top are hollyhock, the smaller flowers in the middle and at the bottom are geraniums I pruned today when I was taking out the hollyhock bush to make way for more light for the roses. The vodka bottle I found in a Pak N Save parking lot a while ago. 😃 ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😃
