On Feb. 2, 2009, Sussex Rotary was invited to visit the Kiwanis Nursing Home by Keri Walker, Home Administrator and fellow Rotary. Pictured here, left to right are Roger Albert, Andrew Palmer, Harley Geldart, Keri Walker, Kim Pearson, Frank Derrah, Bruce Northrup, MLA, and Rhoda Wilson. Missing from the photo is Robert Lockhart, who was behind the camera.
During lunch, Keri gave an excellent history of the home, the changes for the residents over the last few years both within the home and from a government funding standpoint...
The Kiwanis Club built the Home in 1979, and since then, has had a couple of expansions. It has over a 4.0 million dollar annual budget and employs over 100 full and part-time and casual employees.
