The Town and Country

several Home Support
Services to its operation.
Now available to lend a
helping hand to elderly or
disabled persons who wish to
continue living at home
despite difficulties in
keeping up with home
maintenance is a handyman
service. Handymen will
perform heavy duty tasks
which are normally per
formed by the average
physically able homeowner
ranging from digging flower
beds, lawn cutting, raking
leaves, to putting on or
taking off storm windows,
window cleaning, minor
repairs or home im
provements, painting,
cleaning eave troughs, snow
shovelling or perhaps even
building a ramp or rail for a
homebound person.
Also
live-in
elderly
during
usual attending relative or
other crisis situations or
simply for those who live
alone. The live-in companion
is a protective person for the
client, preparing meals,
shopping, helping with
personal care, doing light
housekeeping and laundry
and accompanying the client
to necessary business, etc.
Referrals for this service are
made through the Town and
Country Homemakers and
fees are charged based on
one’s ability to pay.
Housecleaners, weekly or
heavy duty, are available to
everyone: the elderly,
physically handicapped and
working family. Duties
would involve weekly
cleaning, dusting and
vacuuming or more involved
housecleaning as required.
Charges would be based on
the degree of cleaning and
the ability to pay. Town and
Country Homemakers is
presently looking for persons
interested in housecleaning,
weekly light or heavy duty.
A sitting service is
available for families in a
crisis. This provides
emergency care for a family
when mother is suddenly
absent or ill and there is no
on.e to care for young
children for a short period of
time. This includes parents
on vacation.
A sitter service for the
elderly is available during
the absence of the usual
attending person.
Home-living for seniors is
a service for elderly persons
who cannot live alone and for
widows and couples with
grown children who would
provide a home to either a
man or woman over 60 who
do not require personal care
but who could have full
board or kitchen privileges.
Every effort would be made
to arrange a compatible
match beteeen client and
home giver.
Friendly visiting and
volunteer drivers is another
service being established. A
regular social visit, in person
or by telephone, a neigh
bourly assist with grocery
shopping
Friendly visiting and
volunteer drivers is another
service being established. A
regular social visit, in person
or by telephone, a neigh
bourly assist with grocery
shopping or transportation to
the doctor . . . these can go a
long way toward relieving
some of the loneliness,
isolation and burdens of old
age. The Homemakers
agency is looking for
volunteers to provide this
service either singly or a
group effort.
Another service is that of a
hairdresser-barber who will
travel to the homes to do hair
for people who are
homebound for some reason.
Anyone interested in a
position with any of these
services or wanting further
information of the services,
please contact Mrs.
Katherine Nivins at 357-3222.

Rabies may increase
above normal levels in parts
of southern Ontario in the
coming months. Natural
Resources Minister James
A.C. Auld said the 1978-79
season is the tenth year
since the disease last oc
curred, and there was a
major outbreak before that
in 1958-59.
“If this 10-year cycle
recurs, a peak can be ex
pected this fall and winter,”
Mr. Auld said.
Outbreaks of rabies have
already occurred in Bruce,
Carleton, Frontenac, Grey,
Lanark, Leeds, Lincoln' and
Renfrew Counties, with red
fox and striped skunk being
the major carriers.
The minister said that
rabid animals are frequently
unusually tame, and any
wild animal whose behavior
seems unusual should be
^voided.
He said that his wildlife
biologists advise that if
rabies is suspected, contact
should be avoided even if the
animal is dead.
“However, if a sportsman
does contact rabies, either
through his own dog or by
direct contact with a rabid
fox or skunk, a physician or.
veterinarian should be
notified immediately,” Mr.
Auld added.
