Water has been backed up and running for a couple of weeks and all residents continue to have full access to personal care amenities. In the final stage of Phase 2, the tub rooms improvements will feature new walk-in, fully accessible showers, new tiles and new paint that will be added to the accessible sinks, toilets and large tubs. It’s anticipated these components of the project will be completed by late September, pending shipment of project materials.

Phase 3, involving renovations of the bottom floor hallways, is being worked on but will require an extended timeline as the cement foundation must also be cured for a month before new flooring can be placed.

Recreational programming, activities and events continue to be offered in alternate locations throughout the facility as well as in the Amirah Garden and new patio area at the front. Visitors are asked to continue to use the front entrance. Parking remains available at the back and to the side of the facility in the usual parking area for visitors, indicated by signage.
