6 Golden Opportunity Development on the latest complex from the Golden Healthcare Group, Lady Wigram Retirement Village, is now well underway. The $80m state-of-the-art care complex occupies 5.7 hectares at the new Wigram Skies development. Currently in its first stage of development, Lady Wigram will eventually have 101 villas, 73 apartments, a rest home, hospital and dementia facilities and amenities within the village will include a village community centre, bowling greens, a swimming pool, a spa, a gym, a theatre, and a hair salon. Located in the vicinity of the new Wigram town centre, The Landing, and the Wigram Airforce Museum, village residents will find safe and easy access to all the local amenities via adjoining walkways. The first time Golden Healthcare has constructed a retirement village from scratch, owner John Tooby says this is “a very exciting project” they’re embarking upon. The new retirement village promises to be an extremely attractive complex with all the comforts of modern life.

Online Shop New to Nurse Maude 7 Nurse Maude’s Health and Mobility Shop in Wairakei Road has long been the goto shop for those requiring specialised products and equipment that allow them to live as independently as possible in their own home. Now many of the same diverse range of specialised products are available online. “Nurse Maude’s online Health and Mobility Shop has proved to be very popular,” says Nurse Maude’s general Marketing Manager, Sue Bramwell. “Life is busy enough without having to schedule one more trip into your day, especially when you’re working. The online shop is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and it only takes a few minutes to order what you need and have it sent.” Nurse Maude’s online Health and Mobility Shop has created a strong following in rural and remote areas where being able to access specialised products often means a long trip to the nearest town. “This way it’s as simple as click, buy and have it delivered to your door,” says Bramwell. “It’s ideal for people who regularly shop online, those shopping for aging parents on a regular basis or those who simply like the convenience of home delivery.” For those who like to shop in person Nurse Maude’s Health and Mobility Shop has a huge range of incontinence and allied products with new items added regularly as they come on the market.
