Restaurant could become seniors’ facility

Plans are afoot to change a St David’s restaurant into a nursing facility for seniors.A planing application by the Kwaanza Trust, proposes turning a building at 11 Mount Road, which currently houses several apartments and the Lighthouse Grill restaurant, into a “nursing facility for senior care”.If approved, the “Wilbur Lowe Sr Nursing Facility” could house as many as 43 seniors, while offering day care and respite care.A business plan included in the application states that the home is hoped to offer long-term and short-term care for seniors and others who suffer “relatively stabilised chronic diseases” or a functional disability and require personal care.According to the application, renovations and additions to the building would include the instillation of several handicapped bathrooms and an elevator, along with the creation of 17 two-person bedrooms and three three-person bedrooms.
