Initiated in 1971, the Home Care Program is funded by the
Ontario Ministry of Health and administered by the Huron
County Health Unit from an office at Huronview, near
Clinton. Betty Cardno of Seaforth is the divertor and chief
administrative officer of the program.
Home Care is the administrative and co-ordinative
component of a program which delivers both professional
health care and other services directly to clients’ homes
within the county, with the aim of keeping people, who must
otherwise be hospitalized or institutionalized because of old
age, ill health or other handicaps, in the comfort of their own
homes for as long as possible.
In order to be eligible for the program, clients must:
•be covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan
(OHIP)
•be under the care of a medical doctor, and have a
medical condition that can be adequately treated at
home
•have needs tl^at cannot be met in an out-patient basis
•be in need of at least one professional service, such as
nursing or therapy
•live in a home where treatment can be given
•have a family who is willing and able to participate in
the program
•require professional treatment which is reasonably
expected to result in progress toward goals, or in the
delay or prevention of the deterioration of the client’s
medical condition
