One wall is a step back into time
and a lame :marble and wooden
plaque says, "this *house of -refuge
for the county was erected in the
Year 1895."
Through the years, the county's
Home for the Aged has seen sever-
al improvements and 'renovations
and a couple of months ago, resi-
dents were moved a few hundred
feet from the old facility to the
modern building which has 120 ex-
tended care beds and 20 apart-
ments.
"Over the years, Huronview has
-been very successful in its provi-
Mon of care fomite residents of _this
county," said county Warden Tom
Tomes.
1.eading.up to the opening on Fri-
day, county councillors had many
years of 'debate, one big decision
was splitting Huronview in half and
-making two separate facilities.
The other, in _Brunel's, called
Huronlea, has 60 beds and it was
opened earlier in theday.
"With the co-operation and assis-
tance of the Ministry of Communi-
ty and Social Services, Huron

"Part of that is the brick end Viler-

'how people live and how they en-

She said the staff and families
now have a challenge to make Hu-
ronview a "real home" and to help
residents maintain their dignity.
Although it is the concern of to-
day's society to keep people in their
own community's as long as possi-
ble, Alm 'is not always
pOstible. That is why there is Hu-
ronview and other Homes for the
Aged.
"There needs to be that mix and
balance and this is part of that bal-
tince. A beautiful hot,* 'Ilbr
