deliver, and Brown says the next
challenge is in keeping it up to
date.
The information is easily access
ible and the telephone system a
reliable form to use, according to
Dr. Bokhout. They will continually
monitor the program to see if
improvements or changes need to
be made. “As is the case with a
new program it will take time to
figure out what works well.’’
A 100 per cent grant from the
Ministry of Community and Social
Services funded the project. The
on-going grant of $127,000 is
subject to review. Dr. Bokhout said
that in the future another agency
may be better equipped to take
over the program.
David Harvey, Program Super
visor of the Ministry complimented
the health unit on their efforts. He
stated that when he began with the
Ministry in 1979 Huron County was
a leader in this area and now the
tradition continues. He said that
Wilder and Graeme MacDonald all
came forward when Mr. Vanstone
cut the ribbon to open the library.
PEOPLE
Howard Mitchell, Thorold, is
spending a while at his house in
Cranbrook.
Misses Sharon and Susan Engel,
Tracy Abado and little daughter
Amanda, all of London, visited
their grandmother Mrs. Mac Engel
Wednesday evening. Jim and Jean
Keys, seaforth, visited Mrs. Engel
on Friday.
the number one key element in
volved is to achieve reform and
improve conditions for the elderly
and physically disabled and the
Ministry has encouraged the evolu
tion of services such as this.
Mr. Harvey also emphasized that
anyone can use the service, noting
the many frustrated families who
are trying to deal with parents or
others and they can tap into the line
as well.
Dr. Bokhout sees the information
service as part of a long-term care
reform forum that is presently well
underway. This forum enables
people to stay in the community for
as long as possible. “It fits into the
larger picture,’’ he says. He sees
the program as the first step in
helping to co-ordinate acitivities
and make that knowledge available
for people who can link to make the
linkage easier.
Ms. Brown plans to start looking
at transportation needs in the
county, something she feels is a
concern.
For the present, pressurized
stickers are available with the
number listed on it for more
convenient access. Also Ms. Brown
says she is willing to visit organiza
tions or groups to discuss the
information service with them. The
service will be listed in all new
telephone directories in both the
white and the blue pages under
municipal government. For infor
mation call in Clinton: 482-5666 or
toll free 1-800-267-0535.
