Hi Popeye. I feel for you.
If the home has residents who receive public funding (ie not paying the whole fee themselves) then there is DHB input. I'm not sure how much interest they have in day to day running, but the homes are audited. This link might be a good place to start for information https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/life...nd-answers. It links out to other places that might be helpful. It will all change after July though. I have no idea where resthomes will fit into the new structure.
Good luck.
Fine day here after wind and drizzle yesterday. I did some garden work in anticipation of rain so the timing worked out. The big yellow Justicia has overcome the adjacent dark pink and pale pink ones next to it. I've had a plan for ages to move the pink ones and finally moved the dark pink. The pale pink may have succumbed but there is one stem in nearly the right place that might be it. I've left it for now as it now has some more space in situ so will be better left to get a bit stronger if it will. Fingers crossed.
I lifted the last beans - yellow dwarf - the third crop of the season. Early on we were getting 2-3 meals worth a day (most excess frozen, with some also to neighbours). Lately it was down to one meal every third day or so with no new flowers. So that's it for the year. We're now just waiting for the last crop of corn to mature and the new broccoli, leeks and spinach are coming along. Feijoas are in full swing, especially after the wind, and luckily we didn't have any damage this time. The last storm knocked the 3m Mammoth tree so it's now supported and looks like it will be OK. The large Unique tree lost a major limb in the storm before that. We've left it down through the fruit season then will need to remove the split limb and work out the best pruning for the future. It's coppicing well from the main trunk so we should have plenty of options. Apollo is the only unscathed tree this autumn and has huge fruit this year. Most of them go for eating. Most of the other trees' fruit go for freezing.
