Free Press Photo - Doubling the size of the extended care wing at Fair- view Lodge is one possible way the beqiiest of the late Bessie Farewell could be used to improve the homne's facili- ties, says Regional Social Services Commissioner Doug Johns. Miss Farewell, who died Jan.' 25, left $1 75,000 to the Town of Whitby for improve- ments to Fairview Lodge. Since the lodge is'a regional îesponsibiity, the bequest and its use has been referred Io the regional social services departuient. Mr. Johns says the existing extended care section of Fair- vliew Lodge can accomhmodatef- 50 persons and cannot pos- sibly- accomio date '-'future demands. Plumbing and drainage facilities within the home are deteriorating, he'reports, and, major repair and/or replace- ment -can be expected to be necessary at any future time. He has suggested to the region that the existing ex- tended care wing be demolF ished and rebufit as a two- storey wing' with a capacity of 100 persons. - The anticipated cost would be about' $2.5 million, of which the region would be required to contribute $1 .25 -pullon Deducting the be- quest' of $1 75,OOOwould leave a balance of $1 ,075,000 net cost to the region, says Mr. Johns. * "WhîIe the additional 50 beds would not 'solve the future problem of demand, the addition would ceitainly alleviate the immediate neces- sity a nd, within reason, pro- vide a maintenance free new accommodation 'for another 15 to 20 years,"1 said Mr. Johns.

Mr. Johns also suggeste d that, a senior citizens out- reach day care centre Jbe con- stîucted at the home to service seniors living within five to 10 miles of the building. However, he 'consideied that Whitby's senior citizen population is not large, enough to require a day care centre until a future date.
