MPP Huron,Middlesex e Honourable James Tay- inister of Community and Jai. Services addressed the ual Convention pf the Ont- ario Association of Homes for 36,000. The rate of growth of senior citizen apartments in Ontario has been nearly 30 times that of the over 60 papule- tion, over the past five years. But a senior's self-contained home may not be enough by itself. Resources must be provided to enable residents to maintain their sense of self-worth and dignity within the community. Programs such as the Guazanteed Annual income Supplement, Drug Ben, efit Plan and OHIP premium assistance are also helping to achieve this. If the providing of one service to a senior, like grocery shopping or yard niaint?nance will keep that person out of a Home, then the saving in human terms is immeasurable, The Minister said he was not saying that the Elderly should not enter a Home when they wish or when they need to, what he was saying is that the Elderly should at least know the alternatives. Mr. Taylor said their common goal and objective was to work towards supply the best possi- ble support system for seniors. HEADING FOR HOME — Grade eight students from Exeter Public School enjoyed an outdoors education trip to Camp Sylvan this week. Shown ready for home are Connie McIntyre, Teresa MacDonald, Doug Rob- bins, Rick Helm and Wayne Smith. T-A photo innovative, concerned and prac- tical proposals that can be test- ed on a demonstration basis, Where such proposals are feasi- ble, funds wil be made avail- able to put them to the test. This will also involve close co-operation with Municipal Social Service Departments who will also be advised of this call for proposals. At the one end of the spec- trum, according to Mr. Taylor, there are the Homes for the Aged and Nursing Homes. At the other, is fully independent living and in between there is a variety of services and facili- ties. Institutionalization should be a dimension of care, not an either-or choice. The Minister said they are faced with the challenge of how to provide the advantages of an institu- tion while retaining as much independence and self-reliance as possible. An example of encouraging seniors to be as independent as possible is evident in the increasing numbers of senior citizens rental apartments built by the Ontario Housing Corpor- ation. In 1964, there were 36 units; today there are more than the 'Aged, this week, The con- ference, he said, afforded the opportunity to discuss and ex- plore the possibilities in provid- ing care for Ontario's senior citizens, and to look at the many positive achievements resulting from efforts to maintain a high standard of care to the Aged, The Delivery system which the Association developed, he said, is definitely working. Statistics from his Ministry indicated that the number of residents in both Municipal and. Charitable Homes for the Aged is more than 24,000, and that 500 new resident beds will be opening later this year and next year. In the area of support ser- vices, Mr. Taylor indicated that the Community Province-wide statistics show a substantial increase in the level of service delivery. Ten per cent more Homes are participating in the Meals-on-Wheels and vaca- tion care programs than a year ago. Mr. Taylor was pleased with the success the Association had in reaching out to the commu- nity from the Homes. The Human and Financial resources available to Social Services are always limited. He said, we mast ensure that we get the most out of them. An area to be developed, is greater community use of facil- ities for the Aged, to keep senior citizens as fully partici. petting members of the commu- nity as well as reducing admin- istrative costs, More Homes are going to the Community itself for support. Many service clubs, companies and individ- rinls are becoming involved in Homes and programs for the, aged. In Parry Sound, for example, the Community has undertaken a campaign to raise funds for a swimming pool for SAVE $150 OFP REG.

An excellent program in Oakville is underway at one of the Ministry facilities where both human, and physical re- sources are being used in help- ing retarded children. iknother Home is using its Home Econo- mist in the community with planning and budgeting of meals. Multiple use of vehicles by Homes in all areas of the Province is increasing. The Government has undertaken an inter-ministerial program under which transportation of all dis- abled persons, whether dis- abled by age or physical handi- cap, will be integrated under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. In Niag- ara, Homes have developed a program under which residents contact other senior citizens in the Community to develop clos- er relationships between the Homes and the community. In Sudbury; consideration is being given to involving some of the mentally retarded in the maintenance of, a Home. The newly opened tee Manor Home in Owen Sound is being used not only as a residence and recreation centre for sen- iors but as a meeting place for community groups. Mr. Taylor said this type of programs bring the community and the residents together and by using the same facilities duplication is avoided. Mr. Taylor also said that Darcy McKeough, Provincial Treasurer, has announced, that there will be $10 million more in the coming fiscal year for the Municipal Homes for the Aged. At a later date the levels for the Charitable Homes for the Aged will be announced. Another area which need to be developed, is alternatives to institutional care, The Minister said that his Ministry has been developing, along with members of the Association and other agencies programs to enable people to live in the community after retirement if they wish, he said retired people should have the choice of either entering a Home or remaining in the community without' forcing them to make that decision due to lack of money or services outside an institution. Mr. Taylor said, he was convinced that the individual's deepest need, whether 16 or 60, is to have a sense of self-respect, self-reliance and dignity. This philosophy is shared by many senior members of our society. In fact, the Minister said, one senior in 20 lives in an institu- tional group setting. The major- ity live on their own or with a spouse. It was their joint responsibility to provide a wide range of services to ,meet the physical needs of the indivi- dual, while keeping in mind the emotional needs. The Minister invited the Municipalities and the mem- bers of the Association through- out the Province to come for- ward with proposals that will develop alternatives to residen- tial programs. Many Homes for the Aged have already done this. For example, Metro To- ronto, under Ray Tomlinson and Sid Young, has under- taken a vacation program for senior citizens at an out-of- town lodge. He said his Minis- try would welcome imaginative, • . DRAFTING wks.)
