Facility
);
The HSE is planning a meeting with a local group following the closure of the Naas Care of the Aged Centre.
The centre at Newbridge Road has closed temporarily for renovation work.
The decision was taken by the local voluntary group which runs the centre, which itself opened 50 years ago.
A reopening date has not been decided on but there has been minimal activity there for the past 14 months because of the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
The HSE provided services for older people from the centre until the closure decision was made by the committee.
Naas Care of the Aged Centre closes temporarily
Renovation );
The Naas Care of the Aged Centre has closed temporarily.
The reason behind the decision is to undertake some renovation work on the premises, which opened about 50 years ago and was extended in the 1980s.
The voluntary committee which runs the premises and fundraises is keen that the building can reopen in about a month, though no firm date is yet available.
There have been no activities there for 14 months because of Covid-19.
The centre is seen as an important focal point for many people living in the area and it hosts a variety of social activities such as bingo, whist, indoor bowls as well as masses.
