Report on
Home care
When Doctor says, hospital
for you,
Don't faint, panic or turn
deep blue,
Just ask about the home Care
Pia n,
You're Doctor knows, "Yes,
he's the man,"
To tell you how to get the
works,
Homemaker, physio or VON
nurse.
As the above little ditty tells
us there is an alternative to
hospital care, for selected pat-
ients, on the decision of their
family physician.
If your family physician feels
that you can receive the nec-
essary care required to make
you better using the services
provided by the Home Care
Program then you can receive
care at home.
The selection of patients for
Home Care is based on the
availabilityof services -required,
with the resources needed and
willingness of the patient and
their family to receive their
care at house.
Every patient accepted for
Mome Care must have OHIP
coverage, the same as if enter-
ing a hospital, then there is no
charge for the services provided
by the Victorian Order of
Nurses, the Physiotherapist,
the Occupational therapist or
Homemaker when the services
are needed.
In Ontario in the past year
ending March, 1974, 33, 000
patients were admitted to Ont-
ario Home Care Programs in
Lieu of hospital care, and the
length of care was 24 days with
an average cost of less than
$10 per day. This compares
with the average hospital costs
in Ontario of 8 to 10 times that
amount.
In 1974 the Huron County
Home Care Program has provid-
ed hospital care at home to
469 patients. The average
length of care at home was 29
days at a cost of $8.21 per day.
The present costs for a bed in
the local hospitals range from
$70. to $80. per day.
Home Care is an alternative
to hospital care for any age or
illness on the recommendation
of your family physician. When
a patient can be assured of
competent care at home by the
necessary professional, coupled
with the encouragement and
support of the family in one's
own environment, it provides
a sound formula for effective
health care.
The Home Care program is
100/ funded by the Ministry of
Health and is administered by
the Huron County Health Unit.
From January, 1974 to Dec-
ember, 1974, 469 patients
received care at home. Of
these patients, 45 were from
Clinton hospital; 40 from Exeter
hospital; 55 from Goderich
Hospital; 29 from Seaforth
Hospital; 80 from Wingham
Hospital; 108 were referred
directly by the family doctor
instead of being admitted to
the local hcspital. 104 were
discharged earlier from hospit-
als in London and Kitchen.
Eight were from Goderich Psych.
iatric hospital.
The ages of these patients
were;0 to 20 years, 11; 21 to
65 years, 178; 65 years and
over 2 80. Thirty- nine were
over 85 years.
378 patients received nursing
care from the Victorian Order
of Nurses, 112, Physiotherapy
from Mr. John Westcott, 27,

Joy Daymond, 195 homemaking
