Stage two work starts at aged care home
Stage two of reconstruction work at a Woy Woy aged care home with demolition and cutting up concrete occurring over the past fortnight.
Blue Wave Living chief executive Mr Matt Downie said the workers had been asked to take breaks during residents' mealtimes to minimise disruption.
However, the noise was "unfortunately a necessary part of the process".
He said the central link between Palm Sails and Coastal House would be closed depending on building requirements.
"The central link will be open in the evenings and on weekends as a minimum and may open up at other times depending on building requirements.
"We have established an alternative path from Palm Sails through to Coastal House, for when the central link is not available.
"We have also established alternative entry points for access into The Shores building at the rear, via two courtyards.
"This alternative entry is open Monday to Friday during business hours, 9am to 4:30pm.
"There is visitor parking at the rear."
Mr Downie said: "As part of this stage of works, we will be rebuilding the reception to the rear of The Shores.
"This will then operate during business hours Monday to Friday on completion nex March.
"This will provide alternative entry during the next stage of works, during which the central link will then become permanently closed due to construction through that area.
"Stage Two works will see the completion of the Coastal House wing by internally rebuilding the now vacant old rooms and creating a new entry point to this wing.
"In addition, the core central old dining area for The Shores will be completely rebuilt and expanded, removing the existing servery, office and clinic room, and rebuilt with more of a club feel to accommodate large functions and activities.
"It will feature a dedicated cinema space, a lounge area with a fireplace, a niche sitting area, and a bar and servery to support large functions.
"There will also be a permanent built-in barbecue area in the eastern courtyard.
