This continuum must be created if we really intend to maintain the indepndence of elderly citizens, and prevent or postpone in- stitutionalization. Often the split seems completely artificial. On the institutional side, three different levels of care, known as "residential", "extended" and ""chronic", are provided in different facilities. For instance, both nursing homes and homes for the aged provide "extended care" services - a minimum of 1.5 hours of nursing car per day. Although these services are similar in each of the facilities, the sources of funding and funding for- mulae are different. Nursing homes are privately owned and operated under contract to the Ministry of Health. Homes for the Aged are non- profit, run by either charitable organizations or municipal corporations. The original distinction between types of institutions offering different levels of care has become very blurred. As a result, the consumer faces a c ,nfusing set of rates, with costs varying according to the type of care and in- stitution. Many elderly people end up receiving a level of care not suited to their needs. Service providers are hard hit by this fragmentation of responsibility, In many areas, over half of the home support services for seniors are provided by volunteer organizations, Meals on wheels, housekeeping shopping, friendly visiting, personal care and transportation services - these and many more services, which are so essential to the physical and mental well-being of seniors, are provided by a ,host of volunteer organizations with the help of thousands of Volunteers. Funding requirements seem almost designed to confound and frustrate them, The same agency must go through the annual ritual of negotiating as many as four different agreements under four separate programs with as many funding sources. There are already serious concerns about the future of volunteer efforts, with the changing role of women, and the raising costs involved in volunteering. The lack of a co-ordinated approach to funding home support ser- vices compounds the problems. Clearly, what is needed is a comprehensive policy on home support services, an overall plan, combined with long term Objectives, reliable estimates of present and future need, and a clear definition of the range of services which need to be funded, the basis for deciding whether new programs are to be funded. Moreover, comprehensive community health social services planning is only one aspect.

Ontario's population is rapidly aging. By the year 2001, with the post war baby boom moving up the age scale, 0.16 percent of the total population will be over 65, compared With 8,9 per- cent in 1976. The, 1978 statistics from the. Treasury Ministry confirm that not only is the elderly population growing at a much faster rate than the population at large, but . more significantly, the 75-plus group, who need the greatest amount of health care and use a disproportionate number of hospital beds, will increase by 120.6 percent! In Metro Toronto, for example, 206,000 people, representing one in ten, are now over 65, one in four are over 50 years of age. The social and economic implications of this "geriatric boom" have been widely discussed for the past five years. The Provincial Government has recognized that we must, where possible, care for the elderly outside our costly medical framework and has voiced its support for the com- munity-based service ap- proach. But, as with the mentally ill, the concept of non- institutionalization has not been translated into the development of a com- prehensive system of home support and community services, Cut-backs on in- stitutional beds have not been matched to a corresponding expansion of alternative community services. Two Provincial Ministries - Health and Community and Social Services (ComSoc), share responsibility for services to the elderly. Both Ministries provide programs in institutions and both look after certain home support services. Each program has its own eligibility rules, user fees and funding formulae. For instance, both Ministries provide nursing and home-making services.
