$12.6 Million Extension for The Whiddon Group Kelso

A $12.6 million dollar extension will begin at residential aged care facility The Whiddon Group Kelso on January 6th, 2014.

The new extension will add 60 private rooms as well as a new reception and entrance area, on-site cafe, new kitchen and laundry, new outdoor area and more secure garden areas for clients with dementia.

The extension will allow The Whiddon Group Kelso to provide residential care for 111 people and will now be able to provide a higher level of care, whereas the home currently offers low care with ageing in place.

The new wing means that clients will be able to move between the community care, independent living and residential services that The Whiddon Group Kelso offer and pre-construction began in mid-December.
