Seniors could be more independent
With a little help from the
community, more senior
citizens could avoid homes
for the aged and stay in their
own houses or apartments, a
group studying the needs of
adults was told here Thurs-

On Monday May 8 the
Zurich Golden Agers invited
the seniors from Bayfield
and Dashwood to the
Township Hall.
There were over one
hundred in attendance to be
entertained by Mr. & Mrs.
Earl Heywood of Wingham,
represent about 25 Huron
County social service agen-
cies working together on
common problems.
While the group, a sub-
committee of the Huron
County special needs com-
mittee, gave high priority to
such needs as increased ac-
commodation and transpor-
tation for the physically han-
dicapped, the problems of
senior citizens went to the
top of the list.
Provincial statistics in-
dicate that last year 13.7 per
cent of the county's
residents were senior
citizens, compared with the
provincial average of 8.6 per
cent.
County housing authority
manager John Lyndon said
that once senior citizens can
no longer care for
themselves, they must move
out of subsidized
apartments, often into nur-
sing homes.
And that, he said, means a
cost increase from $150 a
month for apartmeht rent to
$400 or $500 for nursing
home care.
Many, he said, could stay
put in their apartments if
they had someone to help
with simple things such as
cleaning and bathing — or
just talking.
