🇫🇷 Bastille Day 2025

Its not necessary to have strong ties to the French heritage. We just embraced the spirit of Bastille Day as a chance to learn, laugh, and celebrate culture.

The essence of “Vive la vie”... long live life. This rang true as we danced, dined, and delighted in each other’s company.

As winter begins to soften, we honour the resilience of the human spirit and the beauty of shared celebration.

🍫 World Chocolate Day 2025 Last week, we savoured the sweet tastes of different chocolates and celebrated the comfort, memories, and connection it brings.

Chocolate is a favourite treat and also a symbol of friendship, a moment of comfort, and a sweet reminder of life’s simple joys.

From laughter-filled tastings to heartfelt storytelling, it was a day that melted hearts as much as it did chocolate. 💛

✨Midwinter Party 2025 ✨

In the heart of the longest night, we came together to share something brighter than the sun — our aroha. ✨❄️

Our Midwinter Party filled the space with laughter, warmth, and sparkle. It was a time to reconnect, dress up, share kai, and remind one another that aroha can outshine even the coldest winter.

Through every shared smile, every moment of music and movement, we felt the strength of being together.

He māramatanga — a light that guides, grounds, and grows.
In our homes, we shine through the season.

The rising of Matariki and Puanga is a highlight of our month. This brought our homes together in reflection, renewal, and unity. 🌌✨

This special time is not just about looking to the stars, but looking within — to remember those we’ve lost, to celebrate who we are, and to set intentions for how we move forward.

We rose together through shared stories, quiet remembrance, and meaningful connection. In rising together, we honour the past and light the path ahead.
Matariki is a time to reflect, to learn, and to grow — together.

“Matariki hunga nui – Matariki the gatherer of people.”

💜 World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2025 💜

last week we marked this day with a firm reminder that every elderly person deserves dignity, respect, and protection. In Aotearoa, it’s estimated that over three-quarters of elder abuse cases occur within trusted relationships such as family or friends.

In our homes, we wore aroha, held kindness circles, and shared resources to “spot the signs” — a powerful How to: recognize unexplained injuries, sudden withdrawal, or loss of voice

It was a collective pledge to honour and safeguard our kaumātua, affirming that they are valued, heard, and safe. 💜

Let’s continue to build a community where every older person is protected and celebrated.

King’s Birthday 2025 👑✨

At the beginning of this month, we paused to mark the King’s Birthday 👑✨ — not just as a public holiday, but as a moment to reflect on legacy, service, and unity.

For many of our residents, the monarchy represents chapters of history they’ve lived through — times of change, tradition, and continuity.

In our homes, we celebrated not just a figurehead, but the values of dedication, leadership, and care for others — values we see daily in those who walk quietly beside us.

Whether royal or not, we all have the power to lead with kindness.
“He aroha whakatō, he aroha p**a mai – If kindness is sown, then kindness you shall receive.”

🏔️ World Everest Day 2025

Last month, we acknowledged this day — a reminder that every person carries their own mountains.

Not all summits are snow-covered. Some are quiet battles with grief, healing, resilience, or simply rising to meet another day.
In our homes, we honour these everyday Everests. The small victories. The big climbs. The courage to keep going — together. Because every step, no matter how slow, is still a step toward the top. 💪🏼💙

“May your mountains be climbed with strength, and your story told with pride.”
