Respite care when you need it
From rehabilitation after a hospital stay, to a little extra support, whether it’s for a few nights or a few weeks - respite care provides temporary care in a range of circumstances.
Ryman’s respite care is offered at resthome-level and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care. We also offer respite care in the comfort of an assisted-living apartment.
We’ve been providing industry-leading care for over 35 years, it's what we do best.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Te Koru Kai
What is Te Koru Kai?
Te Koru Kai is a food scrap exchange initiative created to support our Eastside whānau and whenua. Here's how it works:
➡️ You provide us with your food scraps.
➡️ In return, we give you fresh eggs.
➡️ Eventually, this will expand to include vegetables and meat!
This is a kaupapa designed specifically for the Eastside community to promote sustainability, reduce waste, and strengthen connections.
At the moment, Te Koru Kai is full, but I’ve started a waiting list. If you’d like to join, I can add your name, and you’ll be contacted when spaces open up.
