Aged care extensions not available until mid-2023

Extensions to a Woy Woy aged care home may not be available for use until the middle of next year.

Blue Wave Living's eastern extension is now expected to be competed in January, according to chief executive Mr Matt Downie.

However, building and health certifications are likely to take another month before the extension will be available to residents.

Mr Downie estimated that the new western wing will not become operational and available for residents until May or June.

"It will be around mid-2023 when we will then begin requesting residents in the two southern wings (rooms 20 to 43 inclusive) within the existing Shores bedrooms, to relocate into a new bedroom in one of the newly available wings.

Residents will be allowed a choice of bedrooms within the available suitable rooms which will be made operational at this time.

We expect this process to take several weeks.

Mr Downie said that initially only the north-east section of the eastern wing, the new section beyond the bedrooms 3 and 4 in The Shores, would be opened.

"This will see six new bedrooms become available, either to new residents or potentially some existing residents, plus a new lounge area and a few other spaces, including new landscaped courtyards.

"We are not looking to ask any existing residents to relocate at this stage."

Mr Downie said that the newly-rebuilt main kitchen would reopen in early December!

He said that, despite the delays, "our building works have been progressing steadily and overall we are pleased with the progress".
