Redevelopment at Ryde
Staff farewelled The Chattery in early July with a barbeque and opportunity to write a goodbye mes- sage on the walls. The early construction works are progressing well with Building 11 (Wardspersons and Environmental Services), The Chattery and Community Aged Care and Rehabilitation Service (CAReS) buildings now empty and ready to be demolished to make way for new hospital buildings. At the end of July, the CAReS team moved into the refurbished Graythwaite Rehabilitation Centre. CAReS is a community and outpatient rehabilitation and aged care service providing medical assess- ments, nutrition and dietetics, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, social work and speech pathology. The CAReS team run Parkinson ’ s, frailty, hospital avoidance and memory support programs. The CAReS offices are located on Graythwaite 5 and the therapy spaces on Graythwaite 4 include a gym, multipurpose room and therapy room. The lounge and library on Graythwaite 4 have moved into new areas on the same floor. New spaces on Graythwaite 4 include an eHealth meeting room and dedicated office spaces for the rehabilitation medical staff.
