🌸MEET THE TEAM - DENISE! 🌻
Our amazing garden and grounds keeper 💛

You might not see Denise often when you visit Rata Park, but you definitely see her work everywhere you look.
She’s the quiet magic behind our tidy pathways, peaceful outdoor spaces, and the beautiful gardens our residents love to enjoy.

Denise takes great pride in keeping our grounds looking welcoming, safe, and vibrant all year round.
Her hard work brings colour, calm, and a sense of home to Rata Park — and we are incredibly grateful for everything she does.

Thank you, Denise, for keeping Rata Park looking its best. 💚🌿

🎉 Happy Birthday, Lewis! 🎉

Today we celebrated our long-term resident Lewis — a man of few words who definitely knows what he likes… especially a sweet treat and a packet of green onion chips! 😄

We had a great time marking his special day with him and making sure he was spoiled with all his favourites.

Happy Birthday, Lewis! 💚🎂

⭐️ Welcome to our - MEET THE TEAM - we have an amazing team working hard behind the scenes, and we will start introducing these lovely people each week ⭐️

This week we’re proud to introduce Caney, our amazing Senior HCA and YPD Unit Manager, who has been part of the Rata Park whānau for the past two years.

Caney is the definition of steady, capable care. She brings strength, compassion, and calm into every shift, and she’s the person you’ll always find stepping in, supporting others, and making sure our residents feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. Nothing is ever too big or too small for her to tackle 💛

We are incredibly lucky to have her guiding our YPD unit and supporting our whole team every day 💪

Road trip day for our crew — and what a beauty it was! 🚐☀️

We took the big red bus for a spin down to Fortrose for lunch, then headed out to Waipapa Point to check out the lighthouse and soak up that stunning weather ☀️

Ice creams in Motuaka? Absolutely.
Waves from strangers as we cruised through Invercargill? You bet — the red bus was a hit!

Lots of laughs, lots of smiles, lots of sunshine.
Days like this are exactly why we love getting out and about with our residents ❤️✨
