Seniors'
ay Centre News
By Pam'Williams
Get ready for the Santa
Claus Parade this Saturday
and watch out for our float
depicting "Active Seniors".
Thanks are extended to
Glen Casemore for the
special -delivery of our
Christmas tree last week to
the Armouries. The tree now
is decorated and we're
getting ready for our annual
Christmas party on Dec. 19.
All seniors, volunteers,
board members and staff
who have been involved with
the day centre over the past
year are invited to attend.
Please let the staff know if
you can help out.
The last foot clinic of 1985
will be held at the centre this
Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m.
Call the centre at 357-1445 or
357-1440 if you plan to attend.
Day centre participants
are reminded that the gift
exchange is taking place this
week and not the day of the
Christmas party as was the
case in previous years.
The next board meeting
for the day centre is
scheduled for Monday.
bur special fund-raising
event continues as we try to
sell 1986-87 calendars. Time
is running out to purchase
these handy purse or pocket
calendars before the cam-
paign ends. They can be
purchased at the centre and
are very useful gifts.
Anyone in the community
who would like to participate
in the entertainment portion
of our Christmas party is
quite welcome to do so. If
you have a special poem,
story or can provide some
musical entertainment, let
us know about these talents.
As Christmas Day gets
nearer, here is a thought that
Carol Bessent Hayman once
wrote: "Christmas is re-
membering ... other Christ-
mases, friends that may be
far away, loved ones far and
near, those less fortunate,
those in need." That is
something to keep in mind to
keep this season of joy in
perspective.

renovated. The nursing
home has been operating at
full -capacity for a',number of
years now so the owners
have decided' to add some
beds while renovating.
Erwin Johnson, the ad-
ministrator of the Fordwich
Village Nursing Home, told
Howick Township Council at
the Dec. 3 ,meeting, the home
will lose nine beds if i't
simply renovates to suit
Ministry standards.
Mr. Johnson was at the
council meeting to solicit
council's support for the plan
to expand the number of
beds. He asked councillor
for a letter from council
reiterating the need for the.
expansion to accompany a
fact sheet he will submit to
the Ministry by Dec.13:
"You might say something
like, 'We don't want our
elderly leaving this area.
They spent their lives here
and should be entitled to
suitable accommodation
near their homes.'," Mr.
Johnson said.
The 'Fordwich Village
Nursing Home, owned by
Nedungad Holdings Ltd.,
which also owns nursing
homes • in Exeter, Seaforth
and Sutton, has been allowed
to defy Ministry' standards
because of "grandfather
clauses" in the Nursing
Home Act of •1972. The
clauses exempt all nursing
homes: existing before the
act was in place from the
new standards. .
Recently, however, the
Ministry " of Health has
decided to remove the
grandfather clauses and
soon all nursing homes in the
province will have to comply
with standards.
At prese , the nursing
home has t'h ee "wards" or
bedrooms with five beds in
each, whereas the Ministry
limits the number to four
beds per ward.
In two other' wards, the
nursing home has three beds
facing the windows whereas
the Ministry limits the
number to two•.
Also, the Ministry
stipulates the home's nurs-
ing station must have a clear
view of all residents' rooms.
That is not now the case. Nor
are its corridors six feet wide
or its windows 26 inches from
the floor as per Ministry
guidelines.
In addition to losing nine
beds if the home is simply
renovated and not expanded.
there will be less washroom
space.
"Rather than pull -the
building apart," said Mr.
Johnson, the owners -plan to-
put
vput a nursing station at the
intersection of an L-shaped
corridor and make room for
27 extra beds.
He said they would in-
crease the number , of
residents in "preferred
accommodation," or semi-
private and private rooms,
from one to 24.
■ Guests onSunday with Mr
pansion
"We need all the clout we
can get," Mr. Johnson said
and he asked if the reeve, the
deputy -reeve or some of the
councillors would by able to
accompany • the owners to
"Queen's Par on Jan. 28.
In additi n to the letter
•from ,counci , he asked for a
motion by c uncil stating its
support fo the expansion
'endeavor nd a letter from
the trustees of each of the
'villages. •
Asked if the owners
planned to increase the size
of recreational facilities, Mr.
Johnson simply said the
home has hired an activity
co-ordinator and already has
a big sitting room. As well,
he said, there is some room
downstairs for activities and
"the owners have no in-
tention of touching those
rooms." .
He told councillors the
Fordwich Village Nursing.
Home is the only licenced
nursing home in Howick
Township:, it employs 30
part-time employees and an
expansion would provide a
greater base foci taxation.
"We think expansion is the
way to go, in this case," he
said, "and we hope to get
your whole -hearted sup-
port."
