Field Day in school is one in
which .regular school
curriculum is set aside and the
students put on their shorts
and T-shirts and compete in
Track and Field Events.
The children at Robertson
competed for ribbons last week
in the schools annual Spring
Field Day and the results were
` impressive. To allow for greater
participation the -students were
only allowed to enter in 'four
different events, and this
thinking proved to be successful
in sheer number of competitors..
Records were set and tied by
the young athletes. The 'list of
winners proves the efforts of
the students in ,each event but
when the losers, names are ad-
ded to the list the competitive
participation stands out. More
students were involved in the
events than ever. before which
helped to "make the day a, suc-
cessful one.

THE IMPORTANCE OF NURSING,)iOMES
There are 4831 iLnsed Nursing Homes in Ontario
andthey provide 22,000 beds which represents more
than 20•per cent of the total health care beds in the
province. Nursing Homes represent a huge capital
investment in land and facilities. These facilities
havebeen provided by free enterprise at no'cost to.
.the public purse. Nursing Homes pay taxes as do
Xother private and corporate citizens. In fact the
taxes they pay help to provide the dollars used to
build hospitals and Homes for the Aged.
Nursing Homes provide long term care for` the
:aged ill. Homes for the Aged were established to
.provide residential care for .the Aged, Nursing
Homes are established to. provide residential PLUS
nursing care far those aged who are ill and Jot-
persons
forpersons of all ages who suffer from continuing
disabilities. Nursing Homes which provide Special
Care for children and adults with mental disabilities
number 261. They care for 5400 residents for whom
formerly the mental hospital was their only refuge.
Asour population increases and the percentage' of
persons over 65 continues to accelerate there will be
an increased demand for more Nursing' Home beds.
In Ontario there are now 625,000 people over 65 and
the number is increasing at the rate of 20,000 per
year. In many Homes the average age of the
residents is over 80 years. Centennial birthday
parties in Homes are becoming almost
commonplace.
THE NURSING HOME AS A HEALTH CARE
° FACILITY
The Nursing service in the Nursing Horne
provides appropriate health services according to
the resident's physical and mental disab,hties. Most
o. •
residents require between 112 .and 212 hours of
nursing care perday. The Nursing Home provides
the two essentianunctions indicated in its name;—
Nursing, and a Home for its residents.
,."The "Hor"ne" atmosphere is stressed in the
Home's outward appearance, in its functional
planningforkitchens, bedrooms, recreation rooms
etc, and most of all in the personnel training for the
skills and attitudes required of the staff members.
In the hospital 'there is concentration upon
correcting the problem caused by an adverse
incident or accident which interferes with the
patient's normal life conduct and which affects one
or more parts or systems of his body. The hospital
staff uses operative intervention or physical
chemical change to abort the course of disease and
correct al ignn'ient of parts. lnthis sense a hospital is
a health ervice station or body repair shop.
The Nursing Hume, on the other hand is a home,
concerned with continuity of care and -for the whole
person. The Nursing Home resident's physical
needs may be great: he may suffer from a chronic
disease for which he needs continuing,medication, he
may suffer psychological depression from his being
deprived of the richness of friendships he, formerly
enjoyed: he may have serious limitation of
movement because of a "stroke". Memory loss may
be so serious that he gets "lost" even a few feet from
his bedroom door, For such ill, estranged and lost
persons the Nursing Home offers integration into a
new home society.
NURS4NG CQRFr
Nursing care in the Nursing Home therefore,
whether geriatric nursing or retardate care, is an
exceedingly demanding speciality and vocation The
G�derich Nursing Home
Nursing service gives attention to caring for alh'of
the resident's physical, mental, psychological and
spiritual needs and does it as a continuing activity
over a long span of time. Residents may spend many
years in this congenial and caring environment. The
Home becomes for them THEIR home. In that home
they find support and the secur,ity, and warmth of
human companionship. "Serene old age" is not a
myth. It is found and expressed and lived by
thousands of disabled older people in Nursing'Homes
in Ontario.
PERSONALCARE
This varies with the patient's degree of disability,
4 ficluded are assistance with dressing and eating;•
with getting into and out of bed, with bathing and
cosmetic needs, with -denial hygiene, with walking
and with getting around with the aid of wheelchairs
and other ambulant aids:
MEDICALCARE
Patients in Nursing Homes usually have their own
family physician This is encouraged but if the
patient doesn't have his own doctor, or if in
emergency the personal physician is not available,,
the Home has one or more advisory physicians who
respond to calls and arrange for the resident's
transfer to a hospital should this be necessary.
DENTAL CARE
When a resident needs attention for his teeth or
gums -or when he needs new dentures or repair of
dentures a dentist is called, or the resident is taken
to the dentist. Financial responsibility Jor dental
care is that of the resident or his faintly
