Thanks to his determination, his doc- tors and sophisticated mental and physical exercise, he's coming along pretty well. He's home now, and his wife Anne, who has a heart condition, can look after him with the help of a homemaker who comes in every other day. Bill is visited once a week by a speech therapist, does exercises with Anne and is starting to recover from the massive blow to his self-confidence and his well being. But all the progress Bill Jones has made is threatened, because 80 hours of homemak- ing is all the provincial Home Care Program will pay for. When the time runs out, Bill and Anne will have to pay the homemaker on their own, and they can't afford it. It's hard to concentrate on getting better when you know you may have to move to a nursing home or chronic care hospital, because the help you need to get better at home isn't available. TYPICAL Bill Jones isn't a real person, but his plight is typical. Until August many people in Huron County with chronic (long lasting) illness faced it. It was good news for all of them two mon- ths ago, when Huron County was allocated almost $1 million a year to provide services, s through the Home Care Program, for people who need chronic care. Home Care's longstanding acute care program continues unchanged. "It will help the dying; paraplegics; those who have multiple sclerosis, or have had strokes," says Betty Cardno, Huron's direc- tor of Home Care. And people who need regular, longterm help but don't need to be in hospital. To qualify for the new chronic care pro- gram, the patient must require regular treatment from a medical professional, a nurse or therapist, but the old limit on homemaking services does not apply. 135 DAYS The average chronic care patient is on the program for 135 days. "Some will be on it for years," Mrs. Cardno says. Homemaking services for the Home Care Program are provided here by a private agency, the Town and Country Homemakers. Under the chronic care rules, Home Care will pay for up to 80 hours of homemaking in the pa- tient's first month on the program and up to 40 hours in each following month. Those who don't qualify can still pay homemakers on their own. The Wingham of- fice number is 357-3210. The Town and Coun- try Homemakers agency is now in the mid- dle of its annual fund raising campaign. Homemakers are still needed by people who don't qualify for either acute or chronic Home Care. One exciting thing about the chronic pro- gram, Mrs. Cardno says, is that across the province 30 per cent of patients are rehabilitated and become independent again. "Many patients may be able to manage again on their own eventually," if they get the help they need when it's essen- tial. It's cheaper to treat chronic patients at home, $14.04 a day in Southwestern Ontario, versus a hospital per diem of $220 at Seaforth Community Hospital. Patients are often happier at home. A patient who's at home, the director points out, "is still an economic factor in the community", paying taxes, buying things and making decisions. FAMILY Participation of the patients' family is critical. And as anyone who's ever had a pa- tient at home knows, exhausting. Home Care, although it's not round-the-clock, can relieve families and arrange group sessions to help them cope. Family members learn that they deserve a break and that you can't do everything for someone who's 111. "That takes their independence and sense of Families who wonder if Home Care's CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1983 -PAGE 7 chronic program can help them can call Mrs. Cardno, or co-ordinators Sheila Lan- caster or Cathie Rutter. for general infor- mation at 48j-3416. Patients must be refer- red for assessment by their doctor. In the past for every 65 or 70 people to the program, 12 or 13 don't qualify. "But we don't Aust say no and leave it at that," Mrs. Cardno says. "We'll help to make other arrangements, check into where a person's needs can be met. Sometimes non -admits can take as much time as admits." ADVOCATES Home Care co-ordinators have "a bit of an advocacy role" and can dig up information an help for families who "don't know where to turn." Each patient is individually assessed and arranged for. "There's lots of flexibility. " Based on the experience elsewhere responsibility away," Mrs. Cardno says. (Huron is one of the last areas of the pro- vince to get chronic home care funding) half the referrals will come from the communi- ty. Acute care patients go on to the program from hosital as a rule. By providing professional services, and home making support outside institutions, the province hopes to take pressure off PLUS 30C DEP.

Once a patient is admitted to the Home Care Program, he or she can get care in another part of the province. "We had a number referred from London who came up here to the lake in the summer." Home Care is housed in a large, bright of- fice on the second floor of Huronview on Highway 4. A secretary and part-time com- puter clerk round out the staff, which will probably increase if the chronic care pro- gram is as popular here as in the rest of the province. Check furnace now for maintenance free winter The Canadian Gas Association advises now is the time to check your heating system to ensure yobr furnace will provide you with the most heat for your heating dollar all through the chilling months that lie ahead. Your furnace has been precision made to conform to government approved perfor- mance and safety standards, and ac- curately adjusted for maximum efficiency before being installed in your home. It is a completely reliable, automatic and safe unit which will operate at peak effec- tiveness for many trouble-free years. If any problem should arise, don't try to repair it yourself - call in any of the qualified furnace maintenance companies listed under Gas in the Yellow Pages. It is also a wise precaution to have your fur- nace checked by a licensed service person each year. There are several minor maintenance jobs you can do, however, to keep your fur- nace performing well, such as keeping the furnace area and the air filter clean and checking the blower motor and vent pipes. Keep your instruction manual handy and follow the manufacturer's recommenda- tions carefully. Good housekeeping pays off in fuel sav- ings, awings, particularly in these days of high-- cost energy. Keep areas around the fur- nace free from dust or dirt and clean or change the air filter each month during the winter to ensure maximum performance from your furnace. At the start of the heating season, check the blower motor and fan belt. If the fan belt is frayed it should be replaced, and if slack it should be tightened. Clean and lubricate the blower motor if recommend- ed by the manufacturer. Always turn off the power to the fan before adjusting or checking the motor. Vent pipes may become dislodged over the years causing a heat leak in the base- ment or a partial blockage in the chimney. These problems are easy to spot and rec- tify and the few minutes it takes to repair them will help keep your heating bills from climbing. If you turned off your furnace pilot light for the summer, follow the manufacturer's instructions when relighting. After relighting, turn up the thermostat to make certain the burners are lit. So just by way of a recap, the Canadian Gas Association recommends these easy ways you can help keep your heating system operating efficiently this winter: 1. Have your furnace checked and clean- ed by a qualified serviceperson annually. 2. Keep areas around your furnace clean. 3. Clean or replace air filters regularly 010*-440,gtig season.' 4. Turn fan motor off, check the pulley, fan belt, and lubricate the motor if recom- mended by the manufacturer. 5. Make sure vent pipes are not extended too far into the chimney and are not block- ed.
