The Lives We Have Lived

For one very special day, Radius St Allisa was transformed into an art gallery, with our living spaces showcasing the incredible lives, achievements, talents, and stories of the residents who call our home their home.

The Lives We Have Lived was more than an exhibition. It was a celebration of the people behind the names, highlighting rich experiences, careers, passions, adventures, and wisdom gathered over many decades. Through beautifully displayed biographies, artwork, photographs, memorabilia, performances, and interactive displays, visitors were invited to step into the remarkable journeys of our residents.

As families, friends, staff, and members of the community explored the gallery, there were moments of laughter, reflection, surprise, and admiration. Many were inspired by the extraordinary stories on display, from military service and professional achievements to artistic talents, world travels, acts of kindness, and lifelong passions.

The event was also a reflection of what makes Radius St Allisa such a special place. We believe every person has a unique story worth honouring, and we are privileged to care for residents in a way that celebrates who they are, not just the care they need.

If you are looking for a care home for a loved one, we invite you to visit Radius St Allisa and experience the warmth, respect, and sense of community that make our home unique. Our residents are at the heart of everything we do, and The Lives We Have Lived was a beautiful reminder that aged care is about preserving dignity, celebrating individuality, and helping people continue to live meaningful lives.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our residents for sharing their stories, to their families for their support, and to our dedicated staff and volunteers who brought this vision to life. Together, we celebrated not only the lives our residents have lived, but also the lives they continue to live every day.

Help give children like Sarbendra a better future.

Unable to make the long journey to school, Sarbendra remained behind – isolated at home, watching his dreams slowly slip away.

But thanks to kind-hearted supporters, Sarbendra’s story did not end there.

Through cbm New Zealand’s local partner in Nepal, a mobile rehabilitation camp reached his remote community. There, Sarbendra was assessed, measured, and fitted with a new prosthetic leg.

And today, he is walking again.

Help more children like Sarbendra take their first steps towards a better future…

When Pain Starts Making Life Smaller

It often happens gradually.

You take a shorter walk because your knee is playing up.

You stop reaching for the top cupboard because your shoulder hurts.

The garden gets a little harder. Getting out of the chair takes a little longer. An aching hip or back interrupts your sleep.

And without really noticing it, pain and stiffness can start deciding what you do each day.

But what if something as simple as light could help support your body?

Bioptron Hyperlight Therapy is a Swiss-made medical light therapy system designed to direct a special form of polarised, UV-free light onto the area that needs support.

It is used for pain management in areas such as rheumatology and physiotherapy, including support for arthritis, back, neck and joint pain.

So how can light possibly help?

Bioptron light interacts with the tissues where it is applied. Research referenced by Bioptron looks at effects including supporting microcirculation, reducing local inflammatory activity, influencing pain signalling and supporting the body’s tissue repair processes.

In everyday terms, it is about helping create better conditions for your body to recover and feel more comfortable.

And there are no needles, no massage and no complicated procedure.

You simply sit comfortably and shine the light onto the area being treated for a short period, making it particularly interesting for people looking for something they can incorporate into their routine at home.

For older adults, that comfort can mean much more than simply “less pain”.

It can mean walking a little easier.

Sleeping more comfortably.

Getting back into the garden.

Moving with more confidence.

And continuing to do more of the things that make you feel like you.

Bioptron is also used in areas including wound healing, physiotherapy, skin conditions and recovery, which is why this unusual light technology has been attracting interest around the world.

If you have never heard of Bioptron before, you may be surprised by just how much science can sit behind a beam of light.

Curious?

Discover how Bioptron Hyperlight Therapy works and why people are exploring it as another way to support comfort, movement and healthy ageing.

Dying Matters Week 2026 Starts 7th September!

Dying Matters Week connects people across Aotearoa to start conversations in a safe space, learn from local experts and seek support to plan for later life and end-of-life and to navigate grief and loss.

Who do you know that needs support and advice?
Conversations about later life and legacy are some of the most important kōrero we can have with your whānau. However many of us find it hard to know where to start.

We all know someone - parents, a neighbour, an aunty, a friend - who would benefit from taking that first step. Planning for later life and end of life is much easier when we do it together with whānau and friends. Why not bring your parents, your caregivers, your workmates, your walking group or your neighbours and tackle these conversations together at Dying Matters Week events taking place across New Zealand from 7th - 13th September.

New events are being added to the website daily so we encourage you to visit the Dying Matters Week event page and select your region to start planning your week! You will find events in: Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Hawke's Bay, Gisborne, Taranaki, Manawatū, Wellington, Nelson, Canterbury and Otago.

This Dying Matters Week is focused on empowering you to make informed and meaningful decisions about the future, for yourself and for those you care about. We recognise that everyone’s perspectives, beliefs, and experiences are different, so we’ve created a range of ways for you to connect with and explore these important topics including talks with experts, expos with local businesses, workshops, Death Cafes, open days, grief walks, poetry displays and more...
