Entering permanent care can be a daunting task

Acacia Cove Village

Whether you are in the midst of a crisis, or at the stage that either you or your spouse need to enter permanent care, it can be a very daunting task. Acacia Cove offers independent living while having nurses either onsite or on call 24/7.

The Directors of Acacia Cove recognised how difficult it was for couples to separate as one moved into full-time care and so facilitated the sale of land close by to Bupa NZ Ltd to build a facility that our residents had access to. This has proved to be very successful. However, only a really low percentage of people ever need to move into full-time care, because ideally the District Health Boards would prefer to find home-based support to keep people in their own homes.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
