Residential Care Apartments - Now available
To complement our hospital level care unit and Dementia Centre we also have Residential Care Apartments, or 'LTO's'. These rooms are larger than the regular rooms and have a private lounge, en-suite and kitchen area.
Rooms are initially purchased either by the family or the individual, and have an ongoing residential care fee - the same payment required anywhere once assessed as needing 24 hour care. This will be paid privately or via the super and government subsidy, depending on asset thresholds (this is established by WINZ / MOH, not RRCC staff).
For further information, please ring and talk to our Facility Manager, Darren McKean on 06 323 5050 or email, fm@ranfurlyrcc.co.nz, alternatively please contact our General Manager, Virginia Dyall-Kalidas on 021 713 939 or email, gm@ranfurlyrcc.co.nz.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
