Small grey rabbit found

Paula from Stoke

A small grey rabbit seems to be living at our place quite a bit in Coleridge place. We have been unable to catch it but it leaves plenty of evidence around that it's here. 2 children recently enquired about their lost rabbit but have lost their details.
Please contact if you have lost a rabbit

Respite care when you need it

Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village

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.

If you still live in your own home, a short stay at one of our care centres could be a welcome break from your usual routine.

Our respite care is offered at rest home-level care, hospital and specialist dementia care. In some circumstances, we may be able to offer you respite care in a serviced apartment.

If you've been thinking about moving to a Ryman care centre, spending time with us in respite care is a great way for you to experience the lifestyle in our villages before making your decision.
