The extension of the building which was brought into use at the end of last year
has enabled us to provide a follow-up clinic whereby patients who have been discharged
are seen periodically at the Centre for re-assessment and continued rehabilitation.
The extension includes a physiotherapy room and day room for 12 patients.
In addition, a health visitor who was appointed at the end of last year has, by
visiting the homes of those patients who have been discharged, provided a successful
follow-up system.
The improvement in the Ambulance Service which I noted last year, has I am
glad to say been maintained. This greatly assists the smooth working of the Centre.
The usual summer outing took place, on this occasion as in 1966 to Eastbourne.
Harvest Festival gifts were presented by children from St. Mark's and Oaklands
Schools.
On the occasion of the Christmas Party carol concerts were given by the choirs
of St. Thomas's Church, Hanwell, and the children of Oaklands School. The pupils of
this school also presented gifts to the old people. Mr. J. Chamberlain's small band
also entertained the old people with music of an appropriate vintage, which was much
appreciated. This event was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress.
Generous gifts of money were made by Hanwell Carnival and Fete Society and
the staff of Messrs. Taylor Woodrow Ltd.
