Today we made the most of our end-of-summer feijoas, bringing our residents together for a truly meaningful and enjoyable activity. Everyone played a part—some cutting, others scooping—working as a team and creating a strong sense of purpose, connection, and shared achievement as we prepared our vanilla feijoa cupcakes.
A few residents couldn’t resist sneaking into their piles of feijoas and enjoying them along the way—which brought plenty of smiles and laughter!
While the cupcakes baked, the room came alive with singing. Residents shared songs, memories, and joy, creating a warm and uplifting atmosphere. Once the cupcakes were ready, everyone gathered for a well-deserved afternoon tea, enjoying warm feijoa chocolate vanilla cupcakes, great conversation, and lots of laughter.
This activity supported independence, encouraged social engagement, and celebrated each resident’s unique abilities—making it a truly meaningful moment for all.

Celebrating Easter a little early, but the joy is just as meaningful 💛🐰
Our residents at Kimihia Rest Home enjoyed a beautiful Christian display in the chapel, reminding us of the true meaning of Easter — love, hope, and renewal.

With smiles all around, we hopped into the spirit by dressing up as Easter bunnies and handing out sweet treats together 🐣🍫

🌞 Sunday Fun Walk Yesterday – What a Day! 🌞

What an incredible turnout for the Sunday Fun Walk around Kimihia Lakes organised by Friends of Kimihia Trust!
With 150+ people attending, the Trust is proud to share that over $2,500 was raised through the walk and the Easter Raffle to support Kimihia Home.

It was heart‑warming to see families of residents, Kimihia Home staff and partners, and so many families from the wider community walking together in support. The weather truly turned it on, making it a perfect day to enjoy the beautiful Kimihia Lakes. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🌿

A huge thank you to Kimihia Lakes Restoration and Development (Murray, Jennifer and Greg), also, to Huntly Lions Club and Haven Funeral Services for their support.

Thank you to everyone who donated spot prizes and Easter basket items, which were given away to attendees who stayed until the end of the walk — your generosity added so much fun to the day! 🐣🎁

We would also like to sincerely thank our sponsors:
👏 Cowley and Stanich
👏 Bruce Horrox Builders
👏 Mr. Scoops Ice Cream
👏 Audra Cooper
👏 Viv Rakels

It was great to have Simon Binzegger (Kimihia Home Facility Manager) and Audra Cooper (Chairperson, Board of Trustees) there showing their support.

Denise Holland, Chairperson of Friends of Kimihia, thanked everyone who participated and helped make the day such a success.

This event truly showed what can be achieved when a community comes together. 💙

Thank you all for walking, supporting, donating, and making the day so special!

Our residents had a fantastic time celebrating St Paddy’s Day with a series of fun and engaging games! 🍀

We played Beirut, supporting hand-eye coordination, focus, and friendly competition.
Our Pairs game helped stimulate memory and cognitive skills while encouraging social interaction.
Residents also enjoyed tossing the hacky sack onto the four-leaf clover, promoting balance, coordination, and gentle physical activity.

A big thank you to our staff who joined in the fun and made the day extra special.

🐾 Community Notice – Loving Home Needed for a Cat 🐾

We are reaching out to our community to see if anyone would like to adopt a friendly cat who has been living within premises of Kimihia Home.

Our residents who lovingly cared for the cat are no longer able to do so, and for health and safety reasons, it is not suitable for us to keep the cat in the facility.

We would love to find a safe, caring, and permanent home for this much‑loved pet.

If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact our reception on:
📞 07 828 9396

Thank you for helping us find a loving home for this special cat.

Today we loaded up two vans and set off for a much-anticipated outing to Kaiaua for fish and chips. The excitement was instant — lots of chatter, laughter, and happy anticipation as we headed off on our adventure.
Once we arrived, we sat together enjoying hot, crispy fish and chips straight from the fryer. The simple pleasure of getting out, sharing a meal, and soaking up a change of scenery brought so many smiles and wonderful conversation.
After a relaxing drive around the township, we made a sweet stop in Rangiriri for delicious ice creams — the perfect way to finish our day.
Outings like this nurture connection, independence, and wellbeing. Full hearts, full bellies, and very happy residents all round.

🍦 Sweet Treats & Special Memories 🍦
Today we had a special visit from Alan from Scoop’s Ice Cream, who travels all the way from Pirongia and has been coming to see us for over seven years. We’re so lucky!
Residents were able to walk up, choose their favourite flavour, and order their own ice cream — and those single scoops were HUGE!
For some, it was the first time in years ordering from an ice cream truck. You could see the memories of childhood summers come rushing back.
Moments like this are more than just a treat — they support independence, confidence, and the joy of making your own choices. A beautiful afternoon filled with smiles and sweet memories.

Today we were incredibly honoured to welcome Leon Wharekura — our very own homegrown talent from Huntly — along with the talented Gina Paul, to Kimihia Home for a truly special afternoon.
Leon’s amazing talent and wide range of songs had everyone singing along, tapping their feet, and even getting up for a little dance. The room was filled with music, laughter, and pure joy.
His presence and entertainment touched our residents deeply — bringing big smiles and even a few happy tears. It was a beautiful afternoon of connection, movement, and shared memories through music. We feel so grateful to have experienced such a heartwarming time together. 🎶💛

🍦🍦 A yummy treat for our Kauri Residents. We went and tried our new local ice cream shop The Scoops Nice Mart. Our Residents said they are Big and very yummy and can't wait to go back again🍦🍦
