Staff get first look at aged care home extension

A Woy Woy aged care home has given its staff a look at its new building extension ahead of it being opened.

"As part of a staff barbecue day, we opened up the new Eastern Extension for our staff to have an early look at the near finished space," said Blue Wave Living chief executive Mr Matt Downie.

"We will soon begin some tours for our existing residents to have an early look just prior to us making the first area operational."

Mr Downie said a a number of new courtyard spaces were now available to residents as part of Stage One works.

"Other finishing touches are now underway to bring Stage One works to full completion," he said.

"A key part of this is the new roadway to the rear of the site, and additional parking.

"We expect this to be complete in early May.

"Furniture is now being positioned, and other finishing touches internally going into place, including window coverings and curtains.

"We also have a wall of potential photographic artwork on display in The Shores for residents to vote on their favourite pictures - and we will get several of these framed up for the new spaces."

Mr Downie said the new western side extension and internal rebuild was now likely to take until August or September to complete.

"Following completion of the western side, we will be asking residents located in our two southern wings at The Shores (rooms 20 to 43) to relocate into one of the newly-built bedrooms.

"Once that transition has occurred, our aim is to begin work on the two existing southern wings, with an internal re-build.

"This future work will also include joining the two existing buildings together."
