'r the staff,, to ,pr-ovide. a wider range of nursing services, in the home or institution where families request extra help fortheirloved ones. Para -Med installs and services the ProtectAlert system. It is a com- municative device which allows a person to get help quickly without having to reach a telephone. The person in need simply presses the transmitter worn around the neck. This action activates the transformer which alarms the 24- hour response centre. The centre contacts help whether it be family, friend or ambulance. Para -Med also performs paramedicals for ' insurance companies. Due to demand, - a "sleep -over" service is now provided at a reduced rate where the home support worker sleeps in the client's home and is there for the client's needs through the night or in an emergency. Unskilled homemakers receive a three-day orientation training before they are put on a case and on- going workshops are given to prepare them for their role as home support workers. As more seniors at �d disabled people choose to stay in their homes instead of institutions, the need for greater skills is required. Para -Med hopes to provide a 240 -hour course through the assistance of the Huron Industrial Training Advisory Com- mittee this spring to better equip the home support worker for diseases dealing with aging, palliative care and AIDS.
