We braved the rainy weather for a van excursion around the city. The weather didn't stop our residents from enjoying our tour.

"The conversation took it's cue from one of our resident's love of the outdoors. Admiring the lush gardens and trees, she commented on how beautiful Christchurch is."

Christmas is a little different for each of us. It can be a time of joy and celebration – but it can also be a season that feels more heavy, quiet or complicated. However this Christmas finds you, we send warmth your way. May you experience moments of peace and comfort. Wishing you a very happy Christmas.

We had a great time celebrating Canterbury Anniversary Day and Cup & Show Day! The warm weather was perfect for a relaxed high tea. Our staff joined in the fun by wearing their Cup Day dresses, adding lots of colour and excitement. We also watched the live horse races on TV which brought plenty of laughs and good conversations!

A lovely day which was had by everyone!

Our residents seem to all share a love of music. They love tapping or singing along. Music gives us energy and helps us to feel good!

After a long winter spent indoors, the residents were delighted to finally get outside and enjoy the lovely weather in the garden. One of them joyfully exclaimed, “Wow, fresh air!” while another said, “Can you hear the birds? I love talking to them.” They were clearly thrilled to be reconnecting with nature again.

We are currently celebrating National Awareness Week for Diversional and Recreational Therapy. This year’s theme is He Kākano, He Tipu – From Seed to Growth.

"Growth happens through care, nurture, and connection. Just as a seed needs soil, water, and sunlight, people flourish when they are supported with creativity, empathy, and companionship.” (Society of Diversional and Recreational Therapists)

Our Activities Team plans activities to support our residents’ physical, social and emotional needs. In our home, this can sometimes involve spending time and connecting one on one with a resident, and allowing their personality, mood, and interests to guide the time together. Our activities team’s vital work helps our residents to feel good. It enhances their quality of life by building connection, bringing a sense of belonging and purpose, and helping to keep minds and bodies active.
