Murray Halberg Retirement Village

Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.

fly buys points

Colleen from Onehunga

hi neighbours,
Did you know that if you have fly buys on your card which you don't need or want you can call fly buys and they have a list of charities that you can donate them to.
This means they're not wasted.
