From 15 June, Alpine Health will commence floor replacement works at Kiewa Valley House in Mount Beauty.

The project will involve replacing flooring throughout resident corridors over a two-week period. To allow the works to be completed safely, residents will be temporarily relocated within the hospital before returning to their rooms once each stage is complete.

Visitors may notice:
✅ Temporary changes to entry points and access arrangements
✅ Increased contractor activity on site
✅ Some disruption while works are underway

The dining and lounge areas will remain open and available throughout the project.

We thank residents, families, visitors, and our staff for their patience and understanding as we undertake these important improvements to enhance the comfort and safety of our residential aged care home.
