LOCATION
LaHiree House is located at
#9B Centenary St. Ext, Tunapuna. The major advantage of
this location is that it is 100m off the highway (west
bound lane) in Tunapuna so that access is excellent. The
area is very quiet and peaceful. The area does not
flood, and in any event, the land on which the building
is built has been raised by over 1m above road level.
Drainage is excellent. The main drain is over 1.5m wide
and about the same
dept.
Other Features of the Home
To date four (4) ramps for
wheel chair access have been completed and all toilets
and bathrooms have been fitted with handrails. There is a
specially constructed passage way for an ambulance to
enter and exit the building. In addition fire and safety
equipment have been installed. Each room is equipped
with smoke detectors, there are fire extinguishers,
alarm and emergency lighting system should the need
arise. Each bed also has a buzzer facility to alert
staff if none is nearby at the point in time. Each bed
is also railed for the additional safety of our
residents.
