The new addt.ion of 11.,000 square footage will provide space for 26 additional beds in the rest home section along with a new rec- reation room, a meeting room, ex- pansion of the existing dining room and a properly ventilated garbage room. Participating in the sod turning were Mayor Bruce Shaw, Ontario's Agriculture Minister Jack Riddell, Huron -Bruce MP Muray Cardiff, owner Tom Kannampuzha, chair- man of the Exeter nursing home committee Iry Armstrong and Jim Smith, -president of the residents council. On behalf of the committee, Armstrong presented two gas barbe- cues and three picnic tables to Allen Cook for the nursing home resi- dents and Jim Smith on behalf of the rest home residents. Mayor Shaw in talking about the local committee said, "We always stressed the importance of commu- nity involvement. This facility is top notch. Tom is doing an excel- lent job in promoting health servic- es:" In acknowledging the need for more beds in the nursing home por- tion of the Villa, Riddell said, " We know the need is here, but there is a terrific demand for money to im- prove services in all sectors." While saying there were some communities in the province with- out any nursing home beds, Riddell added, "Maybe we will have some good news for you soon." In his remarks, Cardiff said, " There are more residents over 65 years than there ever were and they need a place to live comfortably. I will work with Jack in trying to get more accommodation here."
