The project is being managed by the Agency for Reconstruction and Development Inc. (ARD) and includes replacement of the roof for the main building, painting, electrical and plumbing repairs, as well as refurbishment of the kitchen.

The wooden roof will be replaced by a steel structure, which is being fabricated by Yorke Structures Co. Ltd. of Trinidad and Tobago. The new steel roof will be supported by parameter concrete beams, while a new timber ceiling will also be constructed.

Currently, the 75 residents are housed in the lower level of the two-storey Home, while work is ongoing on the upper floor. The new roof will be installed in March. It is expected that the entire Project, which has been contracted by the ARD to Classic Design and Construction Services Ltd., will be completed in May.

The financing for the $726,000 (EC) Project is being provided by the Pan American Health Organisation and the Government of Grenada.

The Pan American Health Organisation also provided technical support for the project. The decision for the construction of the steel roof and the negotiation and final design with Yorke Structures emanated from the advice and guidance of a PAHO contracted consultant.
