Prompt start to work
A $500,000 Government subsidy enabled extensions to Windsor House, the old people’s home in New Brighton Road, to be started one day after the building contract was signed by Avon Builders, Ltd. of Christchurch.
The new single-storey wing will provide 11 more residential rooms, bringing the total to 55; and 20 hospital beds, bringing to 44 the number of hospital beds available. Work on the building is expected to be finished bv Christmas, 1979.
The home is run by an association incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act, 1957. The board of governors has four members representing the Rotary Club, four representing the Christchurch Aged People’s Welfare Council, and one appointed bv the Minister of Health.
According to the secretary of the board (Mr D. M. Willson) the board is confident [that the Government subsidy will cost the cost of the extensions, and that the hoard will have to find only the cost of furnishings and hospital equipment.
