Closing Manor Cont. from Pg. 1 Both Re-Entry and Sum- mit House staff are also look- ing for local beds along with staff of Community Living of North Halton and Commu- nity Care Access centre (for- merly Home Care) is looking for nursing beds for some residents. "Generally, what they're going to do is take the resi- dents out to have a look at some of these places and hopefully, give people some choices about where they may be going." Wayne Palmer, a spokes- person for the receiver, said Village Manor, which is op- erating at a loss, will be closed because it needs a lot of repairs and modernization to bring it up to current standards and the receiver has concluded that further investment is not advisable, at this time. "We not in a position to discuss that (rebuilding) at this point. Nothing is really firm," Palmer said, adding that they must get approval from the Ontario Court of Justice to officially close the home. The 12 full and part-time employees at Village Manor have been given layoff no- tices, effective in June.
