board. The agency began with three
nurses and has since grown to its present
staff.
Knight explained the agency nurses are
on call seven days per week, 24 hours per
day with the help of a beeper system. The
patients also become familiar with .the
nursing staff since each patient is treated
by a team of nurses, which benefits both
patient and nurse.
'It's a very exciting type of nursing.
More and more people can be cared for at
home. Hopefully we are preventing people
from ending up in a nursing home or
hospital," Knight said.
The aim of the Huron County Home Care
Program, a provincial government, pro-
gram administered by the Huron County
Health Unit, is to -keep peoplr out of
hospitals, to get them home from hospitals
sooner and to allow them to stay in their
own homes while receiving care," accor-
ding to Linda Reid, a Home Care co-
ordinator.
Reid, a registered nurse, has been work-
ing with the Clinton based program for the
past three and one-half years. Prior to
this, she worked in a hospital setting.
"I've always been interested in the com-
munity. I enjoyed hospital nursing but I
enjoy the comtnunity too and Home Care
lets me broaden my horizons," she said.
The Home Care Program, Reid noted, is
a kind of replacement for they igh cost of
hospital stays. ,
"Hospital stays are so costly. It is so
much more practical to keep the patient in
their • own home, plus they get better
quicker in their own environment."
The Home Care Program does not pro-
vide direct nursing, rather it is more and

administrative body that oversees nursing
care provided by groups.such as the VON
or Community Nursing Services.
To be on the Home Care, the patient
must be referred by a doctor. Reid noted
that one-half of her referrals are from the
Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in
Goderich. Home Care co-ordinators then
see the patient, assess his -her needs, ar-
range those needs, get back to the doctos
and decide on a plan of care. The .co -

ordinator then hires.a nurse from the VON
or Community Nursing Service, depending
on where the patient lives.
"We don'$ provide direct nursing. We're
more co-ordinator, providing ,assessment
and management while the patient is on
the program,." Reid said.
Home Care co-ordinators look after pro-
viding, "any kind of care as long as it can
be provided in the home." Included with
nursing skills are those of,physiotherapists
and occupational therapists. Home Care
patients can be virtually anyone althought
the largest majority are the elderly. The,
average case length ,can range from 30
days to years, Reid said, depending on the
patient's needs.
Since ,Reid joined Home Care almost
four yeas ago, she has seen the program
grow from three full-time co-ordinators to
its present staf of seven who each have
between 80-100 Vases.
"It is different from hospital nursing
since we're not giving direct care but it is
satisfying to see people in their own homes
• and helping, them ' to stay in their own
homes," Reid said. .
Red Cross
Canvassing
in Goderich
this month
Every two minutes, someone, somewhere
in Canada needs blood. In 40 years The
Canadian Red Cross Society has collected
more than 25 million individual blood dona-
tions, helping to 'care for more than 10
'million people. -
House to house canvassing for the Red
Cross will be taking place in Goderich on
May 25 through May 30. Sponsored by the
Maple Leaf Chapter IODE, the canvassing
will be assisted by volunteer canvassers.
Donations can be made by phoning lVfrs.

Protection, assistance and development.
These words, describe the international role
of the Red Coss. In 1898, The Canadian Red
Cross Society began international relief
operations during the Spanish American
War. Since then, Canada, has become.a key
player in Red Cross disaster relief work.
In addition to whole blood, the blood
transf union service of The Canadian Red
Cross Society today provides more than 20
different blood products. In 1987, the Red
Cross celebrates the,.generosity'of Canadian
volunteer, blood donors who- make this ser-
vice possible. But more , volunteers are
hlways needed to operate blood clinics,
recruit donors, and perform other services.
