1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: We're working on Methan Central, which is the much anticipated

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: replacement for our beloved Mefin House, which has been serving

3
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: the residents of the village for over one hundred years.

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: Used to be a maternity care home and then adapted

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: for that. The aptly named meth In Central is going

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: to be right in the heart of the village and

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: helping pull this together the Mefin Care Trust. Mandy me

Speaker 1: dropped by to share in some of the exciting dates.

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: So we have ten residents in the rest home at

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: the moment and three in the Mefin House flat in

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: this Methin Central Retirement Village is going to offer twenty

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: twenty something twenty six twenty six places.

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a big step at that's over doubling, you know.

Speaker 2: Includes independent Livene which is the sex apartments which are

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,840

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,120

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,440

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: those for assisted Levin or the Kia suites in fifteen

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: are Ka Home. I have a distinct feeling that they'll

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: feel like they're in a hotel for a week. While

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: at the moment they don't have on suites, they'll have

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: little kitchen nettes. I haven't seen a bigger kea home room.

29
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: with a bit of a price tag which we're edging

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: our way toward. And there's an exciting campaign a foot

00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: for something to do, one of one of our teams said, oh,

58
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,240

00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: kids to do over the school.

60
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,880
