We took our new van for a spin on Thursday. We headed out past the airport, through Westshore and Bay View, past the Whirinaki Pulp Mill to the beach at Whirinaki. We had paddocks of sheep on one side and the ocean on the other. The weather wasn’t the best but we had a great time!

We recently marked National Awareness Week for Diversional and Recreational Therapy. This year’s theme was 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 coordinators plan 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 our 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.

We have a resident who was a keen fisherman in his heyday. He loves kaimoana from the sea. His son was out fishing on Friday morning, and he brought back some crayfish for his Dad’s lunch. The resident used the hammer and pliers to open the cray like a pro, as he has clearly done this many times before. He ate every morsel with a big grin all over his face.

It was very cold this weekend but at Millvale Napier we still managed to keep our steps up! It feels great to be up and moving sometimes.

It's lovely to make the most of dry weather by getting outside for a walk in the garden. We have also been enjoying using our stacking chairs, we count, sort and very carefully stack them.

Matariki is a wonderful time to remember, reflect and look ahead. We remember loved ones who have passed, and we celebrate the moments of love and laughter in our home. We share joy and stories, and we are grateful for the aroha within our rest home community. May the rising of the Matariki stars bring peace and connectedness.

Mothers' Day was a special occasion. Some of the residents helped with making and gluing Mothers' Day cards . We popped them into an envelope and gave them to the mums in our home, along with fresh cream chocolate muffins, topped with freeze dried raspberries, especially prepared by our chef, Greg.

We hope all of the mothers and mother figures in our community have had a great day. We appreciate the love and care you...
