Retirement lodges preserve
ignity and vitality of elderly
M our society continues to live longer and
age gracefully, -the teed to provide 'for the
elderly is amplified.
Traditionally, children have often ac-
cepted the role of caring for aging parents.
Wether they were willing or unwilling
participants, it .was accepted as more of a
guilt -ridden duty than a loving gesture.
Quite often, that relationship constructed on
guilt, failed miserably.
13111 Oltman of Goderich has been caring
for the needs of the elderly for years as
owner of nursing homes in Goderich, Kin-
cardine and other municipalities.
The former owner of Maitland Manor
Nursing Home, and the owner of Maple
Grove Lodge on Nelson Street, recognizes
the importance of providing for the needs of
our elderly citizens while maintaining their
vitality and dignity. That, he boasts, can be
accomplished in retirement lodges.
Retirement lodge is a relatively new
concept and term. While conceding to the
necessity of nursing homes to provide care
for the chronically ill requiring constant
supervision, Oltman says that lodges, like
Maple Grove, are catering to the specialized
needs of a growing segment of the
population -senior citizens who don't want
the repsonsibliiity of maintaining their own
home,require a mininum amount of
supervision and care and want the com-
panionship of people their own age.
"Retirement lodges are the missing link.
The people here, while there is nothing
physically wrong with them, don't want or
can't handle a home," Oltman explained.
"They might lose interest if they're alone or
they may have lost a mate and become
listless.
"Some of them have a fear of being alone,
they just need a little supervision, a little bit
of security and companionship of people
their own age. They need simply to relate to
people their own age. With that you will
have a more vital person."
With the proliferation of municipal and
government-sponsored senior citizen
housing units providing for the needs of the
elderly has become a competitive business.
But competition, only creates better
facilities.
"You have to provide good facilities, good
services and good surroundings. You have
to offer them a place they are proud to live
in," Oltman said. "Places like this can
preserve the vitality of the older person
longer. In another year or two these same
people may have been in a nursing home but
most of them will never see one. It is
preventative medicine."
Maple Grove was a 33 -bed nursing home
in 1977 when Oltman purchased the
business. One year later he converted the
100 year-old stately home into a retirement
lodge. This year he was forced to expand,
adding eight rooms, an elevator and an
infirmary to the existing building.
Maple Grove Lodge on Nelson Street was recently expanded to accommodate the growing
demand for retirement lodge facilities. Owner Bill Oilman says the lodge concept is
becoming quite popular. (photo by Dave Sykes)
The lodge now accomodates 28 people,
with most having one large room and an
adjoining bathroom while living room,
dining room and other facilities are shared.
"There was a need for a service like this,"
he said. "Their needs are provided for here.
They have their laundry done, the meals are
cooked for them and we can administer
their medication. That's the difference.
Everything is done. They can arrange their
rooms to suit tneir needs and they have the
privacy of their own bath."
It is a new kind of life and a new concept in
caring for the lederly, but a concept that
Oltman says preserves their dignity and
restores their vitality for life.
Oltman has taken measures to provide
that kind -of life and no doubt residents are
proud to call Maple Grove Lodge their
home.
