As the above little ditty tells us there is an alternative to hospital care, for selected patients, on the decision of their family physician. If your family physician feels that you can receive the necessary care required to make you better using the services Because Canada welcomes the financial benefits of tourism, she stresses her most appealing side. Travel brochures and. TV advertisements paint an im- pressive image of our country. Beautiful scenery is displayed. Foamy waves break over massive rocks; a lighthouse stands on a cliff overlooking a serene harbour; golden wheat fields ripple in a breeze; a railroad track winds through a snowy mountain pass; sailboats glide gracefully through a placid water. From a clear sky, an aerial view of a modern city shows attractive sky scrapers located in strategic positions, For sportsmen, Canada is a haven full of delightful skiing, boating, hunting and fishing areas. For harried city dwellers, who want to "get back to nature," Canada is the place to go. Meanwhile up-to-date cities offer different types of en- tertainment, nightclubs, theatres and spectator sports. Canada's way of life is also depicted, Who appears most frequently on the television screens and in the tourist pam- phlets? We usually see healthy looking young people, who are enjoying themselves - sunbathers reclining on the decks of yachts, skiers relaxing before a warm fireplace in a secluded mountain resort and hearty climbers ascending the slope of a lofty peak. Of course, Canadian working men are also portrayed. A triumphant lumberjack waves from the top of a towering pine, -and satisfied fishermen haul full nets into their tugs. According to our tourism ads, Canada is a clean, beautiful, fun- loving and friendly nation, mixing the old with the new and harmoniously blending a variety of ethnic groups. That is Canada's good side. But she has another side, which doesn't appear in the com- mercials. What about the slums, the dumps, the cesspools, the deserted, run-down waterfronts, the rats and cockroaches, the sluggish rivers, the beaches, where swimming is prohibited, the smoggy skies, the coughing people, the smoking factory chimneys and the hydro towers? Canada's open, unspoiled spaces are vanishing. How do you kill a lake? We've discovered it isn't difficult. Working together, Canada and the United States almost destroyed Lake Erie. Who says the two countries don't cooperate with each other? Amendments are now being made, but we can only hope it is not too late. What about the bureaucracy, the red tape, the statistics and the endless forms we individuals are required to fill out? They too belong to Canada. In the fields of technology, science, medicine, education, architecture and industry, Canada has achieved giant strides. Unfortunately, we failed to consider the ultimate effects of some of our brain waves. For yesterday's comfprt, we are paying a high price today. What will be the cost tomorrow? Canada has two sides. We can publicize the good side, but we can't ignore the bad side. Although we can be proud of Canada's beauty and achievements, we can't allow our pride to blind us to her mistakes. Along with all other nations, provided by the Home Care •Avas Program then you can receive care at home. The selection of patients for Home Care is based on the availability of services required, with the resources needed and willigness of the patient and their family to receive their care at home. Every patient accepted for Home Care must have OHIP coverage, the same as if entering a hospital, then there is no charge for the services provided by the Victorian Order of Nurses, the Physiotherapist, the Occupational therapist or Homemaker when the services are needed. In Ontario in the past year ending March, 1974, 33,000 patients were admitted to Ontario Home Care Programs in lieu 'of hospital care, and the length of care was 24 days with an average cost of less than $10.00 per day. This compares with the average hospital costs in Ontario of 8 to 10 times that amount. In 1974 the Huron County Home Care Program has provided hospital care at home to 469 patients. The average length of .care at home was 29 days .at a ;cost of48,21 per day. The present cost for a bed in the local hospitals range from $70 to $80 per day. Home Care is an alternative to hospifal care for any age or illness on the recommendation of your family physician. When a patient can be assured of com- petent care at home by the necessary professional, coupled with the encouragement and support of the family in one's own environment, it provides a sound formula for effective effective health care, The Home Care program is 100 percent funded by the Ministry of Health and is administered by the Huron County Health Unit, From January 1974 to December 1974, 469 patients received care at home. Of these patients, 45 were from Clinton hospital, 40 were from Exeter hospital, 55 were from Goderich hospital, 29 were from Seaforth hospital, 80 were from Wingham hospital, '108 were referred directly by the family doctor instead of being admitted to the local 'hospital, 104 were discharged earlier from hospitals in London and Kitchener, 8 were from Goderich Psychiatric hospital. The ages of these patients were 0-20 years —11; 21- 65 years — 178; 65 & over — 280; 39 were over 85 years. 378 patients received nursing care from the Victorian Order of Nurses, 112, Physiotherapy from Mr. John Westcott, 27 Occupational therapy from Mrs. Joy Daymond, 195 homemaking from certified visiting homemakers. The average length of time Home Care was provided to each patient was 29 days. The cost of service per patient Canada has troubles. Hiding our heads like ostriches and hoping the problem will disappear won't solve them. Let's stop kidding ourselves: Canada isn't the same country she used to be. In some aspects, she stepped forward; in others, she slipped backward. Her positive side is worth holding on to, and the betterment of her negative side is worth striving for.
