The Seniors Care Facility Committee would like to know what the seniors of Huron Coun­ ty believe their future should hold. In March 1985 the Ministry announced plans to spend $75 million to improve and upgrade the hous­ ing situation for the aged in Ontario. This pro­ gram was very well received. Huronview began to assess its situation. An architectural team was hired to provide a functional pro­ gram which included a needs study. Upon careful review of this report, the Ministry of Community and Social Services gave direc­ tion for the establishment of a Seniors Care Facility Committee with the following mandate: 1. To identify within Huron Co'inty the specific care needs of the Seniors’ communi­ ty through meetings, forums and sub­ missions. 2. To prepare a report detailing the above fin­ dings with recommendations for the necessary-facility I facilities including size, location(s) and range of desired care. In order to fulfil this mandate we need to hear from the seniors in Huron County. We would like to know what you believe is needed for the Seniors of today and tomorrow. Over the next few weeks, your Seniors’ group will be receiving an invitation along with a question­ naire. We would like you to select three or four members of your group to represent your organization’s point of view with our commit­ tee. These four members will be our guests at Huronview for a meeting and luncheon. At this time they will be given fifteen minutes to present their viewpoint on the issues of Seniors’ facility needs, including Alzheimers’ units, submit their questionnaire returns to the Committee and then participate in an in­ formal discussion with the Committee and other Seniors’ groups from the county. These meetings will be taking place at Huron­ view on November 25 and 26. Each group will be sent an agenda, questionnaires and invita­ tions. They are welcome to attend the entire discussion or if they choose, only that seg- -A of a thanks for the donation to the Blyth Legion for $600, for the lift.

A date will be announced shortly when residents’ councils of the various Nursing Homes will be presenting their questionnaires at a similar meeting and luncheon. The County Care Agencies (Huron Day Cen­ tre, Wingham Day Centre, Integrated Homemaking, for example) are also being sent questionnaires and invitations to a forum and luncheon held at Huronview on November 24. The input and information we hope to obtain from these services is invaluable. Please watch your local newspaper for more information regarding these very important events.
