It’s hard to put your finger on why Ryman care centres just feel different. Perhaps it’s our constant drive to improve through innovations such as our myRyman Care app and Delicious menu, or perhaps it’s the genuine warmth of the care we provide.

Our 'Experience the Care Difference’ guide paints a picture of the care, kindness and comfort that our residents experience every day. It offers a comprehensive guide to rest home, hospital and specialist dementia care, as well as our serviced apartment options. So, for the inside knowledge into what makes a Ryman care centre different, check out our guide.

Hullo Neighbourly folk, I thought you might be interested in the recent poll on having a holiday on your birthday.
The results were a surprise. Who would have thought that nearly 70 per cent of you do not want to get a paid day of leave on your birthday.

A post on the Lower Hutt Kereru Rescue page is a reminder of how cute or ugly, depending on your point of view, baby kereru are.
The little fellah was handed in to the Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust before being handed over the Welington Zoo.

When they are young the legs and beak are darker and they are often confused with our rare black-billed gull. Unfortunately, the numbers of these native gulls have been declining rapidly since the mid-90s, in some places by as much as 50%. We are managing to turn this around though with recent predator control in some areas seeing their numbers stabilising or slightly increasing. The one here on the rock at the estuary is quite young, you can see his bill is transitioning to the characteristic reddy colour. I call the other photo on the wall at Petone Beach "glitch in the matrix".

Hutt City councillors on Tuesday accepted a recommendation to take first steps towards revoking the reserve status of part of the land, the first step towards selling it.
Milne, whose wife is president of the tennis association, was in October found to have breached the council’s code of conduct over his ongoing conflict of interest in the matter.
Hutt Valley Health Limited, which has a medical hub next to the 1640 square metre block at Mitchell Park, is interested in buying the land, which is valued at $1.4 million. The council has spent years discussing the potential sale.
Councillors noted the association supported the move if the proceeds of the sale were re-invested in their redevelopment plans.
Milne was not present when the vote was taken.
We've started work on our plan for the next ten years, and we want you to tell us what you think.
We've formed some priorities, so let us know if you think we're on the right track by taking our quick survey here.

The pair from charity Nourish kai hampers raised $135,000 so as many as 1000 families in-need won’t face bare cupboards this Christmas.
About 80 volunteers packed 1000 hampers worth $150 for those who need it most across Porirua, Hutt Valley and Tawa on Saturday – the highest number the charity has put together, and double last year’s demand.
This evening Council gave the green light to the Naenae Town Centre Spatial Plan. This is a significant step forward in the rejuvenation of Naenae and will complement the construction of the new Naenae Pool.
