"Rest Well" is linked to the rest home's redevelopment plans to renew or retrofit older sections of the facility.The campaign hopes to initially raise enough funds to replace older mechanically operated beds with electrically actu- ated beds more easily controlled by both the residents and staff.The cost of replacing all 65 beds is about $130,000, a figure expected to take several years to raise.The first fundraising goal was set at $36,000, with the campaign beginning with a bulk mailing in November 2005."In the 11 weeks since then, we have received over $23,000, or nearly 65 per cent of our 05/06 tar- get," said Heimrich, thanking all who donated.
