Therefore, in times of rain you can store water for gardens, etc. to reduce the water usage over the summer months. We’ve got plenty of water but it’s a matter of getting it out of the ground fast enough to meet the consumption of the consumer. “We’ve also been working on developing a business plan for Elmwood. One of the areas in Hawke’s Bay in residential care that’s not well catered for is psycho-geriatric care. In care there are various levels – Level 2 is rest home; Level 3 is dementia care; Level 4 is hospital; Level 5 is psycho-geriatric. There is currently only one facility in Hawke’s Bay that provides Level 5 care, so we have done a business case and we will be discussing that with the DHB to expand the Elmwood facility. We own a couple residential properties adjacent to that facility so we have the land available to move into providing stage 5 care in Napier. That’s still a way off but we will be meeting with the DHB to try and work through the process. “Mostly important to know about The Napier District Masonic Trust is that we are a registered charitable community organisation in the business of providing care and also assisting people in need. We’re here to fill a part of the market that isn’t being met by the large corporate facilities. Every day I get contacted by people in very difficult circumstances who need someone to be empathetic to their problems and find a solution for them. Without worrying too much about the bottom line. It’s very rewarding when we’re able to assist them.” Knightsbridge Village THE NAP I ER DI STR I CT MASONI C TRUST
