New aged care wing to open in weeks

A Woy Woy aged care home is expected to open a new wing in a matter of weeks.

“We anticipate being able to open the new North East wing by late March now,” said Blue Wave Living chief executive Mr Matt Downie.

“Initially a small number of new bedrooms will become available, along with a new lounge area.

“The space will also include a new kitchen and dining area –however these will not be officially activated until mid year once more of the works is completed.”

Mr Downie said stage one works for the eastern end extension off The Shores building was almost completed.

“The long-awaited landscaping is finally gathering momentum, which is a big part of what is left externally.

“Internally we are working through defects to finalise the eastern side.”

Mr Downie said furniture had arrived.

“We are in the process of commissioning internal infrastructure, such as NurseCall, fire protections systems and access control and other IT systems.”

The western side extension and internal rebuild was progressing
