Whether you're hitting the street to trick or treat, or staying inside with the the candy bowl by your side - here's some Neighbourly Halloween tips to ensure that this Tuesday is a fun and safe experience for you and your neighbours!

1. Set up a Halloween Group for your street! Plan your Halloween evening with your neighbours to see what time everyone is taking the kids out. You could even co-ordinate matching costumes!

2. Download one of our SPOOKY Neighbourly Halloween posters to stick on your house or letterbox for if:
- You welcome all trick or treaters
- You want trick or treaters to stay away

3. Stay in areas of your neighbourhood that are familiar and are well lit. And although Halloween is supposed to be spooky, be careful not to frighten your elderly neighbours by popping out of the dark!

Stay safe and have fun!

Hi there,

Our elderly parents (96 and 87) whom we love dearly would like to move from their home in Palmerston North asap and have full time care in the Hastings area to be closer to us.

This is new ground for us and could I get some advice......

1. Any rest home recommendations?
2. How do we get the ball rolling, is there a process to follow?
3. Is it possible for them to share a room?

Thanks so much for your advice!
