County Council agreed Friday to pick up a $5,100 tab to keep a county homemaker service operating for families in the county in need of domestic assistance because of illness, old age or handicaps. The service has been operating for almost a year under, Canada Works grant but to continue operating the service must be self sup- porting by JanUary 1979 and needs county help to metthat objective. Jean Young, administrator of the service, app ealed to council Friday explaining that the service is $5,099 away from being self supporting with the clients it now serves, ..She said; the budget for the homemaker service has been drawn up for 1979 and after expenses is that much short of paying for itself. She said the service needed assurance that the funds would be made available to plan operation in the coming year adding that any fund raising held in 1979 would eran funds that could be used for clients that qualify for assistance by the homemakers but are. being turned away because of a shortage of money. Mr. Young told council that the reaction to the homemakers service when it began opeation proved tha there was a need. for htc service in Huron County. She said home- maker needs in the county were going unawnsered and that homemakers were unemployed. The administrator , said she and Betty Cardnoi Nursing administrator for the county health unit, applied for start up funds from Canada Works a year ago and began to organize a homemaker service. She said the service was designed to co-ordinate a homemaking service for . the elderly, chroniCally. ill, disabled, handicapped and for single parent 'families with children providng full-time, part-time, overnight and live in homemaking service. The Canadst Works grant enabled the homemaking Fervice to establish itself' and plans Are made the ag,ency self supporting selling its service on a fee for service basis and seeking support from community service clubs and municipal government in the aunty. MN Young said the fee for service enables in the county its services to Children's Aid, the cancer society and agency to sell individuals. Shc said the tees Are established on an ability to pay basis meaning that a client's income is determined and based on that income the fee they will he charged is determined. She told council that the homemaking service has been instrumental in allowing many people in the county to leave institutions and return to their homes to live with the assistance of a homemaker. She said the cost to taxpayers is dramatically less if a service is offered in the home rather than in an institution such as a hospital or senior citizens home. She explained that clients in the past year had purchased $71,135 worth of services from the homemaker agency and that if those people had been in nursing homes the costs would have been $102,755 and if they had been in hospital it would have totalled $564,487. "The difference in tax dollars saved is $596, 107," she said. "As you can see we are not only a vital employ ment agency throughout Huron County but an economical member of the whole health service team." Young said the service has 71 people on staff and has sold 10,229 hours of service to 100 different private clients. She" said the rate charged health and social agencies is $4.20 in a town and $4.60 for' out of town clients. She added that live in and overnight rates differ according to qualifications of the worker and the work required by the client. She told council that 14 percent of the population of Huron County is over 65 and that very few of those people need to be in institutions. She said governmetn and private concerns are strongly suggesting that home based services be established to help people of all economic backgrounds remain in their home and out of costly facilities such as hospitals, She pointed out that some of the direct benefits fo the homemaker agency is that it permits single parent families to stay together freeing the parent to go out to work and enabling the children to continue their schooling. It eliminates the psychological problems of people about to enter institutions and frees needed hospital beds for the acutely ill and is a source of employment for thousands of educationally disadvantaged men and women.

Reeve. Bill Elston said MTC had reflised any grant money for the road. Councillor Ross Procter said there were several alter- natives that could be looked into so that the road could serve during low water levels. Councillor Sam Pletch sug- Qested they acknowledge the letter and send it on to Stratford. Reeve Bill Elston said that the cleaning up of the road was done with the help of a federal grant and he pointed out that none of the money had come from tax- payers in Morris to help pay for the road to the plowing match. Councillor Procter then' asked What they were going to do with the road allowance and it was suggested that trees be planted, "If no thing was done about the bridge we'd probably build permanent fences on both end and plant trees," councillor Procter said. Councillor' Bob Grasby suggested they post a sign Saying it was a dead end road until it's decided what to do with it.
