Life After Life
The proceeds from the final sale allowed the Fund purchased a building at Bayville. It would be a very different type of facility - there would be no fields to farm. After undergoing renovation, it became Jones Manor on The Sound, a home for 46 residents. It was operated by the Fund for more than thirty years, until it closed in 2015.
