The Home Care Program is admieistered by the
Huron County Health Unit and financed by the Depart-
ment of Health.
Admission to Home Care is arranged by the patient's
Family Physician and any medical condition may be cared
for, as long as adequate services are available to pro-
vide the care required.
Home Care is a Rehabilitation program and patients
are accepted with the expectation that they will achieve
a position of independence within 30 days.
There is no age limit, but, patients must be in need
of a professional service, such as Nursing or Physio-
therapy. If one of these services is needed, other ser-
vices such as homemaking laboratory and x-ray, dres-
sings and drugs, pertaining to the patients medical con-
dition, can be provided.
The patient and their families must be willing to
participate in the Home Care Program. The patient's
family and friends, if willing, help to provide the day to
day care of the patient with the Home Care Program
providing the Nursing and Physiotherapy services and
homemaking, it it is required. Homemaking services are provided according to the
personal needs of the patient, such as help with bathing
and dressings, help with walking and meals. The home-
maker is also allowed to do the necessary household
tasks that are necessary in relation to the care of the
patient. Home making is only provided when no member
of the family is available to provide the care required
and the amount of time may vary from a few hours to a
maximum of 8 hours, Monday to Friday.
During the past year, 181 patients received Home
Care. Of these, 151 patients received Nursing Care,
101 patients received Homemaking and 34 patients re-
ceived Physiotherapy.
The services are provided according to the needs so
that a patient may receive a combination of these ser-
vices.
As Home Care is at present an Active Rehabilitation
program with expectations of recovery within 30 days,
there is still a need for help in providing adequate care,
so that patients with a longstanding condition, such as
arthritis or heart disease could receive enough care to
remain at home.
Perhaps, in the future, this care will become avail-
able for these patients.

OFA head
endorses egg
marketing
The interprovincial agree-
ment to organize nation-wide egg
marketing is a landmark victory
for farmers, says Gordon Hill,
President, Ontario Federation of
Agriculture.
"There has been too much
regionalism. Allfarmers across
Canada lose when one province
over produces, and dumps the
surplus on to another."
Mr. Hill, claims the national
approach to marketing will give
farmers needed income stability,
and guarantee consumers a
constant supply of eggs in the
future. "It will weld farmers
in unity across the province."
Agriculture Minister H. A.
Olson signed the supply-manage-
ment agreement onNovember 20.
When the national agency starts
operating, it will give each pro-
vince a quota based on its share
of Canadian egg production from
1967 to 1971. Ontario, Canada's
leading egg-producing province,
will produce 38.16 per cent of
Canada's needs.
Eggs are the first farm pro-
duct to have a national market-
ing agency under the National
Farm Products Marketing Act.
"The legislation gives the
legal framework for farmers to
take the initiative and get things
done, I hope they will take an
aggressive industry-wide a.p-
proach to moving eggs."
Mr. Hill added that the
agency will also be in a position
to do much-needed research and
Market development. "The best
Way to increase farni income is
theoligh latger volume and pride.
We must beconie experts on the
market place", be said.
