Older people can worry about having a fall, so much so that their activity reduces and they move less. Their strength decreases, affecting their balance and the risk of a fall increases. We want to know how many Neighbourly members who are over 65 have had a fall or fear falling?
We value our older people and want them to stay well and independent. We want them to Live Stronger for Longer. We’ll share more about why we’re asking next week.

We produce our own herb teas and medicinal remedies too! We operate on a 0% waste policy in the commercial kitchen and have reduced commercial waste by 55%.
In our garden you will find worm farms and composting methods such as Bokashi, where all living waste material is shredded and then used to provide nutrients for our organic garden.
By the end of this year, we aim to have minimised the use of chemicals and to be the first commercial business and building with zero footprint!
Our staff are so excited about this aim and vision that they are actively participating and learning by taking some of these principles home to their own families. Our direct neighbours are joining in and assisting also and we are actively exchanging ideas on how our small group can make a big difference.
We have won Auckland Council garden competitions and aim to be an exemplary Dynamic Backyard. Check out the Dynamic Backyard facebook page for our garden's past achievements.
Every day our residents benefit from and taste the difference of our fresh garden produce.

An aged mattress is going to have less support, as it becomes saggy in the middle. It is very uncomfortable for the body to sleep on such a mattress.The pressure points increase, and the body gets a bad posture while asleep on a worn out mattress, and this is the reason for your backache and sometimes a bad posture too.
