Hall April The War Amputations of Canada exist primarily to /help those who lost limbs during wartime service. But with all the experience they have had dealing with pension com- missions and in encouraging the development of better ar- tificial legs and arms, they find they can also be invaluable to civilian amputees, Nothing gives them more satisfactiont than being able to assist a child who becomes an amputee, so much so that the association regularly adopts such children and looks after them until the age of 21, They call them all "Sidney Junior", in remembrance of a former president, the late Lt. Col. the Rev. Sidney H. Lambert. "Padre" Lambert lost a leg in the First World War. The 1973-74 Sidney Junior is eight-year-old Dale Vincent of Cambridge, Ont. Dale slipped off a slow-moving train near his home and lost both his right arm above the elbow and his right leg below the knee. After his recovery, members of the Waterloo-Wellington Branch of the War Amps began to visit him, convincing him that he could still have an active and happy life. He has learned to write with his left hand, and to ride a bike, and at the War Amps annual convention held in Kitchener last September he was officially adopted by the organization. Another Sidney Junior, now 13, was adopted by the Nova Scotia Branch of the War Amps at the age of seven after he too fell under a train, losing both his legs. Larry William of Musquodoboit Harbour was recently reported by H.C. Chad- derton, the War Amps executive secretary, as doing well .on his artificial legs, a good student and able to engage in hockey, volleyball, basketball and gymnastics. Last summer he took part in a walkathon to raise 'funds for the. local athletic club. The day before the event one of his stumps developed sores, so rather than forego the occasion, he covered 14 miles in a wheelchair. Mr. Chadderton wrote in the War ,Amps magazine: "In the five-and-a-half years since, he lost his legs,. Larry has developed into one of the best known and ,best liked teenagers in the region.. During this' time the members of the Nova Scotia Branch of the War Am- putations of Cinada have kept in close contact with him. His plans for, his future are quite firm. He intends to keep up the, high level of his school work and, if he has his way, ,he will enter medical col' The War Amputations of -.'anada will stand ready to jess'st this fine youngster in attaining his ob- jectives," After adoption, the nearest branch maintains contact with- each Sidney Junior and gives any help that is required over the years. As an example, a recent report from Vancouver, printed in the War Amps quar- terly magazine, reads: "Sidney Junior of 1965, Tim Hunt, from Williams Lake, has, almost grown to manhood. Like many of us he has had some real problems with the leg. However, Tim has been fitted with a more suitable prosthesis which we hope will be more comfortable and useful." 10 at 2:30 p.m. Plans were set. up for a dessert euchre last Wednesday of April, see the paper for the ad, Sister Carrie Lobb, on behalf of the Lodge, presented Sister Mary with a gift in recognition of her yeaes work, After closing Lodge a social time was spent playing euchre bingo. Sister Trene Cudmore won a draw on a pair of pillow cases, The April gr'oup served lunch, And from the Montreal _Branch came this report: "Our Sidney Junior, Claude Provost,- is having trouble with his good knee; we hope'this is only tem- porary," Other Sidney Juniors have been Harold Roberts (1963) of Saint John, N.B„ Doug Paulson (1967) of Winnipeg, and Gerry Holoway (1971) of Edmonton, The main source of support for the War Amps are by David Woods Advances in medicine are helping people to live longer, Ontario has more than 600,000 people in the over-65 age group — and the num- ber is increasing rapidly. Some estimates suggest that by the year 2000, the over-60 group will repre- sent the majority of our population. (So if you're over 34 now, start thinking!) Our youth-Worshipping society tends to dismiss or ignore the aged, perhaps as living reminders of our own mortality and becanse of life's accelerating,pace and modern learn- ing's rapid obsolescence, age is no longer associated with wisdom, Not only that, but our ever- greater mobility often results in the older generation getting left behind — it's exceptional today to see two or more adult generations of a fam- ily living under the same roof. Some, of course, are able to stay at home and to look after their own needs. Others require assistance — a lot or a little. For those who are healthy, there are Homes for the Aged, or the • Ontario Ministry of Health's Home Core program, which offers visits from nurses or help with minor difficulties. For those who require regular daily nursing care, Ontario's 417 nursing homes represent an alterna- tive to being hospitalized. And to- day's nursing homes are much more than simply repositories for the elderly, There seems to he a growing awareness that older people have emotional and recreational needs as well as physical ones . , . and that they have a claim to a retirement enriched with interests rather than stilled with solitude. Married cou- ples are able to go on living together. fn Ontario, the term 'nursing home' can:only he applied to those institutions licensed under sing Homes Act (April 1972). To qualify for admission you have to need at least 11 '2 hours of nursing and personal care daily (though not so much that hospitalization is CleI.:CSNIICY I. and your doctor must complete an application for the extended care benefits covered by OH IP, Incidentally, these benefits only apply if you have been living in Ontario for at least the past year. donations. made for key tags distributed by the association every . year, The proceeds not only provide work .for putegs basis, but make possible such programs as the association's Civilian. Liaison Committee. Because of it the War' Amps have altered their key.tag slogan, "Your donation will help us to help ourselves," It has added the words, "and others," A , minimum of 75 per cent of Ontario's 23,000 nursing home beds come under the program. An np-to- date' list of nursing home addresses can be obtained from the Minis- try of Health, Nursing Home Inspection, 880 Ray Street, Toronto M5S 1Z8. There are waiting lists for admis- sion at many nursing homes, and, once you're in, eligibility to stay is reassessed at six-month intervals. Health insurance (OHIP) pays $10.50 a day for each resident. The individual contributes from $4.50 a day (for standard ward accommo- dation) up to $11,50 a day (for a private or semi-private room), de- pending on the type of accommoda- tion .chosen. In seeking a nursing home, con- sider its location and surroundings, its medical, nursing and recreational facilities — and make sure it's li- censed by the Ontario Ministry of Health. It's not easy to adjust to the new lifestyle of a nursing home — but the homes themselves are trying to make it less difficult. At one Toronto nursing home I visited, the 200 residents have TV lounges, regular bingo games, parties, exercise pro- grams, a library and learning oppor- tunities in a variety of arts and crafts. ' The one-storey building is bright and colorfully decorated, and the service includes accommodation, food, laundry and recreational faci- lities — as well as 24-hour regis- tered nursing care in three shifts. Nursing Home standards are subject to regular assessment for continuing licensure. The ideal situation exists when our older people can be cared for by relatives in a family environ- ment. The alternative, especially where there are inadequate facili- ties at home and no need for hos- pital care, is the nursing home. And.. the nursingthorpe todo.is ing the home' aspect of Carint-for the aged as much its the nursing part. David Woods is a former editor of Canadian Family Physician maga- zine.
