New wing for aged care home

Construction has begun on the extensions and renovations to the Woy Woy Community Aged Care nursing home and is expected to be completed in February next year.

The renovations are expected to provide luxury accommodation for the frail aged with the new wing to consist of nine single rooms with ensuites, a sitting room and additional office space.

The renovations will also convert four bedrooms to double rooms with ensuites for couples.

The project has been three years in the planning and is fully funded by Woy Woy Community Aged Care; through prudent management of funds and strong support from the community.

Sydney company Elsmore Constructions, which specialises in aged-care building, has been appointed to undertake the project.

Local contractors will also be used on the project, said Woy Woy Community Aged Care CEO Ms Jennifer Eddy.

She said that both the board and management of the home were keen to promote employment of locals.
