THREE NEW VILLAGES

Arvida is buying three luxury retirement villages for $180 million in Queenstown and Tauranga.

NEW CHAIRMAN AT BUPA Following the resignation of Nicola Roxon, Bryan Mogridge was appointed as the new chairman of Bupa Australia and New Zealand.

Mogridge has plenty of experience at Bupa, having served as non-executive director of Bupa Australia and New Zealand since 2013, and chairman of Bupa Care Services New Zealand and its predecessor from 1998 to 2015. Mogridge previously chaired the Board of Trustees of the Starship Foundation for over 20 years, has been the chief executive officer of two public companies and a director of several other companies.

Roger Davis, chairman of the Bupa Group, thanked Roxon for her time at the company.

“I would like to thank the Honourable Nicola Roxon for her excellent contribution to Bupa Australia and New Zealand over the past five years, first as a non-executive director and then as chairman,” said Davis.

“We have greatly valued her unique insights, skills and experience and her deep understanding of the health and community services sector.”

Bupa also announced the appointment of Michael Hawker as deputy chairman of the Bupa Australia and New Zealand Board. Hawker joined the Board in April 2019, initially as a non-executive director.

100% OWNED

The properties included in the deal are the Bethlehem Country Club and Bethlehem Shores in Tauranga, and Queenstown Country Club in Shotover Country.

The acquisition will add 326 independent living units to Arvida’s current portfolio of 3,677 units and beds. The villages also provide the opportunity for the future development of 504 units, which further increases Arvida’s pipeline in its key growth areas. Going forward, Arvida’s annual targeted build rate from financial year 2021 will increase to over 250 units.

“The villages have been built to a high standard and represents an opportunity to acquire a portfolio of significant scale and quality in prime locations,” said Bill McDonald, CEO Arvida.

“The brownfield development pipeline materially adds to our expansion plans and will deliver significant value to our shareholders over the long term.”

The acquisition is expected to be completed

by July 31, 2019.

Arvia currently owns and operates 29 retirement villages with over 4,000 residents.

RYMAN MAKES RECORD DONATION Ryman Healthcare has made a record donation of $473,000 to the Stroke Foundation.

The money was raised across hundreds of fundraising events over the past year at Ryman Healthcare’s villages.

The money will go towards free blood pressure checks for New Zealanders.

SUMMERSET’S $290M INVESTMENT Summerset Group has acquired land for two new retirement villages and plans to invest $290 million to develop the sites.

One of the sites Summerset bought was an 11-hectare section in Whangarei, and the other was an eight-hectare property in Cambridge, both for undisclosed sums. Each village is expected to host over 200 units and around 70 serviced apartments, on top of rest home and hospital care facilities.

“In the last 18 months we have focused on buying a mix of broadacre sites in urban fringe locations, retirement destinations and high growth regional centres,” said Julian Cook, chief executive, Summerset.

“When added to our urban sites such as Ellerslie, St Johns, Parnell, and Lower Hutt we have a good mix of new villages across New Zealand.”

Summerset now owns 12 blocks of land, with 26 villages operating or under development.

Foundation van to travel the length of New Zealand, providing over 10,000 free blood pressure checks over the last year.

“About one percent of the people we’ve checked so far have had dangerously high blood pressure, so it’s likely that we’ve saved lives already,” said Mark Vivian, chief executive, Stroke Foundation.

“What’s even better is that we’ve helped a whole lot more people to do things differently to manage their blood pressure and that will make a big difference to their lives. Having the funding and the van has allowed us to extend our blood pressure awareness work from one week in October each year to all year round.

Chief executive Gordon MacLeod said over the past 20 years Ryman has raised more than $3.6 million.

“Everyone’s got in behind the Stroke Foundation and it’s the most we’ve ever raised for a charity partner,” said MacLeod.

“It’s been a huge success and has made a tangible difference to many lives.”

The Breast Cancer Foundation has been chosen as Ryman’s next charity partner in New Zealand.

ACTIVE HEALTHCARE St John of God Halswell's ceiling hoist implementation programme is a resounding success with carers, residents, managers and funders.

St John of God Halswell is a 60-room specialist service in Christchurch, providing residential and respite support to people aged 16 to 65 living with physical or neurological impairments.

St John of God Halswell ran a pilot programme to trial the replacement of floor hoists with Guldmann ceiling hoists. The trial was incredibly successful and paired with external research, showed strong evidence for ceiling hoist advantages over floor hoists in key areas of lowering staff injury, improving resident care standards and saving staff time.

Lowering staff injury Manual handling injuries represent one of the major risks to care workers. A survey of responses from staff at St John of God Halswell during the pilot programme showed staff felt personally safer from injury during resident transfers when using a ceiling hoist. Several studies support this and show reduction in injuries from the use of ceiling hoists.

Mark Anderson, manager, facilities support at St John of God Halswell said his number one focus is on staffing and it’s the biggest cost to the facility. Ceiling hoists bring efficiency and reduce cost of staff by reducing time to deliver care. “St John of God Halswell is also strongly focussed on creating value for staff, and ceiling hoists do that,” Anderson said.

Jack Haughton, physiotherapist and manager, rehabilitation and therapy also supports ceiling hoists. “I think the ceiling hoists are really important for us as we continue to improve our service. This is one of the only changes to the workplace I have ever known that has been met with unanimous enthusiasm. We expect them to reduce injuries to staff, improve quality of life for residents and allow us to develop our processes to work more effectively.”

Improving resident care standards The residents love the Guldmann ceiling hoists too. “There’s no need for readjustments into a chair which protects skin integrity and the clients love it,” Anderson said. This results in a better experience for clients – it is smoother and makes them feel safer.

Judy Kelly, an enrolled nurse at the service said the Guldmann ceiling hoists are brilliant, they make life so much easier. The twisting motion and turning a floor hoist is hard work and ceiling hoists remove that strain.

“The first time I used the ceiling hoist I thought ‘oh my goodness’. The movement is a whole lot gentler on the staff member. I used to get sore hands, but I don’t anymore with the ceiling hoist. You do notice you don’t feel achy,” Kelly said. She would love ceiling hoists in all rooms because they make life that little bit easier and her back doesn’t niggle like it used to. “They’re jolly brilliant”.

Time and cost saving When using a floor hoist, generally two carers are needed: one to locate the hoist, make sure its battery is charged, and then both are needed to transfer the resident.

With some extra training, a single person can operate the ceiling hoist which is always there in the room, charged and ready to go.

The St John of God Halswell team report that using a ceiling hoist versus a floor hoist can save up to as much as five to six minutes per transfer, largely from reducing the ‘time preparing to lift’ phase. Saving five minutes on each lift means 11 hours of work time saved each day across the facility, or an incredible 4,015 hours saved across the year. Switching from floor to ceiling hoists gives staff, time and cost efficiencies and ultimately more time to care for residents.

St John of God Halswell has now

implemented the replacement of floor hoists with Guldmann ceiling hoists in all 60 rooms across the facility. Active Healthcare worked with the team to supply and retrofit the hoists and train care staff in their use.

TOP ACTIVITIES TO KEEP RESIDENTS ENTERTAINED

Residents spend a lot of time keeping themselves company. Across all types of care facilities, a key aspect of operations is entertaining residents with activities where they can socialise with each other. Different residents require different levels of care, so the best activities are ones where everybody can get involved.

Here are some classic activities and some modern ideas which all residencies can try.

Aqua Aerobics It looks goofy from the outside, but aqua aerobics is an excellent form of exercise for people of all ages and all fitness levels.

The free movement and support of the water provides for a safe exercise for those with joint stiffness and a variety of injuries and ailments. Even for those who consider themselves athletes, water can provide huge resistance and offer a tough workout.

Gardening Gardening is one of the most rewarding and healthiest activities for anybody. For the elderly in particular, gardening helps stimulate senses, and working with plants allows residents to interact with nature and get a sense of pride and accomplishment when they see a plant they cared for grow.

While lifting and bending can be difficult for the elderly, gardens can be modified, adding benches, creating raised beds or making vertical gardens to reduce these difficulties.

Inter-home competitions The level of ‘competition’ will be down to each competitor or team, but inter-home competitions for quizzes, bowls and other challenge-based activities are not only good for getting residents up and about, but also gets them working together.

Workshop

Scooter Club

Happy Hour

Pioneered by Alzheimer’s Australia WA’s Mary Chester Club, the idea of a ‘Men’s Shed’ gives residents the chance to engross themselves in woodworking. The work gives seniors an objective to work towards using either skills learned on-site, preexisting skills, or from other residents in the workshop. It also provides a shared space where residents can interact and facilitate friendships. The work helps them maintain strength, coordination, thinking skills, and gives them some independence. The idea doesn’t necessarily have to be ‘male-only, but in the Chester Club’s example it provided men with a meditative space to hone their creative skills in a purposeful way.

A resident at Arcare Maroochydore in Australia established a ‘Scooter Club’. The club ‘hoon’ around the streets on their scooters, trying cafes, restaurants and other places that pique their interest. The idea is adaptable in all sorts of places, and gives residents the chance to get up to high speeds, give their scooter’s a spin and feel a bit of freedom.

Another common and nearly universally popular choice of activity is happy hour.

The New Zealand Health Survey showed 79 percent of 65 to 74-year olds and 66 percent of those aged 75 or over drink, showing that the elderly still have a taste for alcohol.

There is a bounty of seniors who want to have a couple of drinks to unwind at the end of the day. The happy hour idea is selfexplanatory, the only factor which requires real consideration is regulating how often to run the event. A lot of places will run a happy hour once a week at an on-site bar.

It’s a social event, a chance for residents to get together and share life experience.

FIGHTING THE SKILL SHORTAGE

Last year, the Aged Care Association said New Zealand was short of 500 nursing staff in rest homes. At that point, they were pessimistic and thought New Zealand could be looking at a shortage of close to 1000 nurses.

The concern was that residents were coming into the facilities in worse conditions than they use, and the staffing levels were insufficient.

While pay issues are one part of the equation, a lot of graduating nurses are moving out of the aged care sector to work in DHBs. One change that is set to alleviate this problem at least in some part is a change of immigration policy that the Government has made.

The Government has added aged care nurses

to the Long Term Skill Shortage List, a decision which the New Zealand Aged Care Association applauds.

The decision makes it easier for rest home providers to recruit overseas nurses. By being placed on the Long Term Skill Shortage List (LTSSL), nursing is highlighted as an occupation where there is an ongoing shortage of workers. This comes at a time when the care facilities are struggling to hold their nurse workforce.

“We have lobbied hard for this over the last 18 months with the valued support of DHBs, Health Workforce New Zealand and the Nursing Governance Group among others.

The Government has listened to our voice,

responded responsibly and we welcome that,” said Simon Wallace, executive chief, New Zealand Aged Care Association.

When people are employed in a LTSSL job they can be granted a work visa under the LTSSL Work to Residence Visa policy, and can apply for residence after two years working in that occupation.

“Our members rely heavily on being able to recruit and retain overseas nurses to be able to provide the highest quality care for our most vulnerable older. But there are simply not enough registered nurses available and at a time when we are now losing nurses to DHBs in the wake of last year’s pay settlement, this decision is a lifeline.”

We provide solutions that help your residents remain healthy and independent in a supportive and clean environment.

We understand the importance of making care and nursing safe, but also homely. With Norovirus, cold and flu, and other pathogens often found in these environments, we provide resources to address specific needs, and help preserve the quality of life for residents in the full continuum of care.

CLOSING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE It is a damaging stereotype that the elderly do not understand technology.

Digital exclusion is a serious problem which disadvantages a significant number of New Zealanders. The digital divide used to be defined by who had access to the internet and who didn’t. Now thanks to the widespread nature of modern internet and Wi-Fi, 67 percent of adults 65 years or older have an internet connection. Furthermore, almost 35 percent of this group said they use social networking sites, showing a willingness for seniors to adapt.

However, another less-discussed digital divide is how comfortable people are using health technologies. Devices like wearable fitness technology help people track their physical activity and help them improve their health.

According to the latest New Zealand Health Survey, over half of New Zealanders aren’t active for two and a half hours per week.

For a lot of adults, it leads them to incorporate exercise into daily routines.

However, seniors are notably not the target market for these products. The fitness devices are almost always advertised to younger, fit and healthy adults. Seniors, the ones who could benefit from activity trackers the most, are the group who are least likely to invest in this tech.

This is just one example of how falling behind in technology disadvantages the elderly, but there are a lot of other emerging technologies which are of similar importance. There are some places and organisations taking it upon themselves to keep seniors educated on tech.

For example, at Tech Week 2019 the Tech & Tea event was a collaboration between Chorus and Senior Net where seniors were

shown how voice-assisted technology and devices can be helpful for them. There were demonstrations showing how to set up the devices, and how to use it in homes.

Another initiative making the effort to help elderly people better understand technology is Digital Seniors, a small trust based in Wairarapa which was launched in late-2018.

DESIGNING FOR DEMENTIA

A 2016 Ministry of Health Secure Dementia Care Home Design guide recommended that doors remain unlocked, visible, and open wherever possible.

The research suggested that providing patients with dementia access to an unlocked door leading to a garden would reduce agitation, enhance connections with the wider community and improve sleep.

However, leaving doors open 24/7 is understandably a safety hazard. Electronic Alzheimer’s-proof door locks are one way

to prevent those with Alzheimer’s from wandering.

These locks are designed to keep entryways locked during the night or while staff aren’t on-hand.

Many of these lock systems, like the Kwikset Electronic Lever Lock can be controlled anywhere with a smartphone,

Digital Seniors brings volunteers in to provide seniors with free one-on-one coaching, in a sensitive and positive way. The initiative’s pilot was launched in Wairarapa.

The town has the largest senior population per capita in the country and is also near the top for social isolation and loneliness, making it a top contender for the service.

tablet or computer. It sends operators notifications when people enter the home.

When it comes to dementia patients there is also the risk that they won’t be able to get into their own rooms if it’s locked and they are outside. One approach to resolve this is to use locks which can be unlocked using fingerprints from the outside.

Systems often allow over 50 fingerprints to be registered to the door, so the locks could be used for general entrance doors as well as for resident’s rooms. Some door locks like the 1Touch Evo3 Fingerprint lock give operators the ability to record who opened the door and when, which in cases of residents wandering off would be a useful tool.

There’s more to designing for people suffering from Dementia than just keeping them safe and applying a lock system that works. Because people with dementia struggle to see different shades or tones of colour, using contrasting colours can aid visually impaired residents.

Some recommendations from the Secure Dementia Care Home Design report include putting contrasting colours on doors that people should engage with and low contrast for spaces people should not engage with.

In the same vein, it’s also important to make sure floors have low colour contrasts and little to no patterns to help residents walking. If designed properly and with consideration, colour and pattern choices can reduce wandering.

MAKING DINING AN EXPERIENCE

KEEPING TRADITIONS ALIVE They say that music can evoke memories, but so too

can food, particularly home favourites that have been passed down through generations. So why not keep the tradition alive and incorporate flavours and dishes that transport residents back to younger days and the food they know and love?

Comfort food can sometimes be dull so rather than trying to reinvent classics, try adding small twists to keep the balance just right. It can be as easy as adding a cultural twist to keep the dish exciting, this way residents that prefer familiar favourites are catered to while those that have

a cultural background may find comfort in a new dish with flavours they are familiar with.

Nutritional intake is still catered to by fusing dishes together, while cooking sauces help add interesting flavour combinations and moisture to sometimes dry foods.

Residents expectations and desire for flexibility around mealtimes are driving innovation in the kitchen.

From quality ingredients creating fresh meal solutions to comfort foods, residents dining options are changing. Buffet options, formal dinners, casual bbqs, and resident involvement in the cooking process are all ways to enliven mealtimes for residents.

The baby boomer generation who are entering the aged care space are wanting meals that they recognise while utilising fresh ingredients while also providing healthy options.

A big part of their interaction with others will be over a meal, so opportunity abounds for menu inspiration.

While the rise in more healthconscious consumers is already evident, it has also transitioned into the retirement and aged care space. Residents will be arriving with the expectation of a variety of foods made with fresh ingredients which promote wellness. Family members are becoming more aware about making sure quality foods are on the menu at village and care facilities. These trends will continue as more and more baby boomers retire or require care, and the increasingly health-conscious younger generations will make sure aged care providers are feeding their loved ones with healthy options.

FLORENTINES Celebrating 25 years supplying all facets of New Zealand foodservice, Florentines is proud to manufacture a range of cost-effective products for institutional caterers including a focus on aged care.

In 1993, the Knight family set-up in Tauranga; a small boutique European inspired patisserie with a desire to put their customers’ needs first and to make sure their products are as delicious and enjoyable as possible.

Florentines provide a service built on respect and trust throughout the food industry in New Zealand. Their passion to provide their customers with a range of quality, exciting baked products has resulted in a well-respected international food manufacturing company that is committed to being a leader in its field. Florentines is still a 100 percent New Zealand family owned business.

Through improvements in software, processes, plant machinery and engaging with market specialists in Elder Care have enabled us to look at the New Zealand industry in a more planned and less reactive way. We aim to supply the best solutions picked by the client for their sites to improve the living of people in care.

We have invested heavily in the establishment of talented food professionals and a technical team; locally and off-shore, to increase our ability to produce the peak of baked solutions in New Zealand.

We also engage with bakers and chefs wherever we can for opinion, guidance and innovation.

By embracing the industry we love, our goal is to be nothing short of the best.

It was the summer of ’99, when our friend Jimmy who owned a local kebab shop commented he couldn’t find a tortilla wrap that wouldn’t crack or split when rolled. This sparked an idea…

We found an old Fish ’n Chip shop that we renovated to become our first bakery.

We tried loads of things, but in the end, traditional methods were the way to go! We rolled dough balls and hand-stretched each wrap and tortilla, cooking them on a hot plate over an open flame. In the beginning not everyone believed in us, but with pioneering spirit we packed our bags and headed to Mexico, the home of tortillas to refine our craft! Many tortillas later, we journeyed through the USA to discover the exciting evolution of the wrap.

Fast forward a few years, a new, world-class Tortilla Factory in Upper Hutt meant it was time to upgrade to the very best of equipment, while still making sure our wraps were baked the traditional way, over an open flame.

Our dedicated range of wraps and tortillas come with our trusted “won’t crack, won’t split when rolled” guarantee. Yeast and dairy free, they come in an assortment of unique and innovative flavours that incorporate the use of real herbs and vegetables. The variety of sizes helps to inspire a variety of usage occasions.

MOCCONA The heritage behind Moccona was born half a world away in the quaint Netherlands village of Joure. In a little grocery store, Egbert Douwes sold Java grown coffee to the locals. With quiet passion, his small enterprise flourished and soon became a tea and coffee emporium.

As the instant coffee craze spread across Europe, Douwe Egberts launched the now legendary Moccona brand. New Zealand then took its first shipment of Moccona in its iconic cylindrical glass jar and gold label. Originally sold in delicatessens and small specialty stores, it symbolised the little indulgence from Europe that added to the pleasures of daily existence.

Moccona’s reputation for world-class quality saw it become a household name, a favourite among coffee drinkers everywhere and the most indulgent freeze-dried coffee. It’s known for its premium taste and elegant glass jar, making Moccona a much-loved classic all over New Zealand.

Loved for its premium taste, Moccona’s special quest is to always ensure we bring you the very best coffee, full in flavour, smooth and rich in aroma.

To enjoy a cup of Moccona coffee, please reach out to your distributor or contact JDE NZ customer services for more information on where you can purchase any Moccona product.

WHITELEY MEDICAL Whiteley Medical has the infection control and cleaning solutions required to create a safe and hygienic environment in Aged Care facilities.

As we get older, our skin tends to require extra special attention. Both aged care residents and their carers can keep skin soft and hygienic by using a combination of products in Whiteley Medical’s skin care range. Bactol® Antibacterial hand rub contains natural emollients to replenish the skin’s natural lipids which are removed by alcohol, leaving the hands hygienic, soft and replenished.

A health problem such as incontinence is a common occurrence amongst older people. Whitley Medical can provide carers with products necessary to clean up after an accident has occurred. Odacon® is a highly efficient deodoriser for incontinence that eliminates a common cause of urine smell by neutralising odour at the source. Used in combination with the Florogen concentrated air freshener range which kills 99.9% of odour causing bacteria, aged care facilities can easily manage odour control.

Aged care facilities are often susceptible to outbreaks of dangerous bacteria and viruses.

Whiteley Medical has the cleaning and disinfection products required to ensure the health of aged care residents is protected.

Viraclean® will clean and disinfect all hard surfaces and kills a broad range of

pathogenic organisms.

Recent ground-breaking research conducted by Whiteley Corporation as part of an Australian Research Council Linkage grant with Macquarie University identified that bacteria and other microbes often live in tiny biofilms, on surfaces and objects that are frequently touched within healthcare settings. They ‘hide’ under dry surface biofilms, making current cleaning and disinfecting protocols ineffective.

Whiteley Medical launched Surfex® in 2017, which is the world’s first Dry Surface Biofilm Remover and Disinfectant.

PROPRESS

Propress Fabric Steamers are incredibly effective when it comes to presenting, refreshing and revitalising virtually any fabric.

They generate a constant flow of hotter, denser steam, and this is a great advantage when it comes to heavy fabrics, tough folds and creases. The centrally heated boiler provides steam that is fully effective and leaves fabrics hanging perfectly, without a sheen – breathing life back into the fabric. Its non-spit nozzle provides peace of mind for use with lighter-coloured fabrics, and worries over expensive stains.

Steam will un-crease and refresh curtains, is suitable to use on thermal backs and fabric blinds, it will sanitise your mattress and sofa, kill bedbugs and their eggs, viruses, bacteria, allergens, mould and mildew plus remove dents and creases in carpets. It's an ideal tool to assist with a quick refresh of rest home rooms between occupancies. Steam is especially good for clothing and apparel.

Their versatile Fabric Steamers are used everywhere from rest homes and hospitals, to laundries and hotels, antique and contemporary furniture makers, apparel manufacturers, retailers to luxury yachts, caravans and motor cars, and by curtainmakers, photography studios, carpet fitters, upholsterers, auto trimmers and wig makers.

The machine’s stability and its hoses flexibility and performance allows it to be used in the workroom, the drying room, the showroom, and insitu at specific locations,

taking care of the inevitable problems arising with handling fabrics.

Steam vapor penetrates surfaces, destroys mould spores, germs, viruses, dust mites, and bacteria (no chemicals needed). Prevent mould and mildew from building up on shower curtains or shower doors. Just pass the steam over the surface of the curtain or door, then wipe any loosened mildew or soap scum.

Propress Garment Steamers are suitable for all types of clothing, from fashion and bridal through to vintage, and are safe for use on velvets, silk, linen, wool, cashmere, appliqués, embroidery and even lingerie.

Propress steamers are recommended for use by the UK National Trust to treat centuries old fragile vintage fabrics. The steamer’s speed of performance gets garments where they are needed right away – on display or back in the residents’ wardrobes. Many costumiers, theatre and film studio wardrobe departments, as well as celebrities constantly in the public eye, have the perfect solution – a Propress Steamer.
