The week is organized by the Ontario Association of Visiting Homemaker Services to increase awareness about homemaking, its purpose and value to our commu- nities. Canada is known internationally as a caring nation. The reputation has come from the way we choose to help the most vulnerable in our society. The way we treat our frail elderly and chronically ill, families in crisis and the dying makes us unique in North America. Across Canada, programs are in place to provide a variety of ser- vices in their homes to people who truly need them. Those needs may occur for many reasons, but most are a result of changes -in our soci- ety. r- • WORIfSkTorf4 innWingAs geograp ly from traditional •family support systems. More women have entered the labor forees,teduchig their ability to care for aging parents and for their own children. So, home-based care has become a lifeline for a growing number of Canadians. Home-based care is delivered by a team. It includes nurses, social workers, physical therapists and homemakers or home -support workers. We're familiar with most of the professionals on that team, but the homemaker is part of an emerging profession that many of us don't know much about.
