EXCITING ADDITIONSTO THE ACTIVITIESPROGRAMMEWe have a new gym circuit inour facility, designed by ourphysiotherapist, Kirsty. There areseveral stations throughout thebuilding for residents to stop andexercise. This has proved to bevery popular and allows residentsto exercise at their own speed andwhen desired.REFRESH AND ENGAGEGARDENING CLUBOur administrator has started a quality initiative of a gardening club withthe first one held yesterday. A mix of silverbeet, parsley, carrots, basil,thyme and spinach was planted by residents, who are normally dependenton their walkers for security, but who had by the end of the session begunto leave them and work independently in the garden. This will improve theresidents’ balance and walking which will lead to fewer falls and improvetheir independence and quality of life.The interaction with one another was great to witness as they planned howto plant and what other plants they would like. The hardest part of thewhole exercise was trying to get them to come back inside. We have nowopened this group up to the public and invited visitors and family to attend.ST PATRICK’S DAYRadius Taupaki Gables celebrated St Patrick’s Day with steak and Guinnesspies for lunch, and gold chocolate coins. The afternoon was an array ofshades of green and filled with the sound of Old Irish songs as everyonegot into the groove of the karaoke.FRIENDS OF TAUPAKIWe have a monthly meeting with key speakers which is open to thecommunity and families of former residents. This was previously called‘Support Group’ but we felt were all friends now and a name change wasneeded. We welcome new attendees, so if you are interested in becoming a‘Friend of Taupaki’ please see Jennie.Every two months our managertakes the residents on anintriguing mystery tour. Thetours often involve the history ofour community, the surroundingareas and also the developmentsgoing on around us. Every timethere appear to be more housesand shops going up in our area.The residents’ activity committeemeets monthly to assist withprogramme planning. This is toensure variety and that we aremeeting every resident’s needs.This is a new initiative andone that we think will be verysuccessful.PUPPY DAY CAREWe have been given the wonderfulopportunity to take care of twosmall dogs while their owner is atwork. With it being proven thatpets have a positive effect onhuman emotions, both residentsand staff are enjoying their visits.In fact we’re finding it difficult tohand the dogs back to their ownerat the end of the day.RADIUS TAUPAKI is set in therural town of Taupaki, a 20-30minute drive west of Auckland.

Elloughton Village Bulletin5 May 2015The excitement’s buildingI’ve been around Elloughton Gardenson and off since 2005. Recently, I wasstanding in the carpark, looking at thenew village construction and it wasdifficult for me to remember whatthe grounds used to look like only 6months ago. The civil work began lateOctober and today we actually have avillage standing on the site. Time hasa way of erasing the memory. How didwe get to this point?I thought it would be fun to have alook at the photos which chronicle theproject’s development to date.February 2015Concrete foundations are downJesse SchellVillage Development ManagerApril 2015December 2014Timber frames being erectedMarch 2015Ground ready for building!January 2015Marking the villa positionsRoof structure being builtThe show home is nearly complete!
