When the time runs out, Bill and Anne will have to pay the homemaker on their own, and they can't afford it. It's hard to ,concentrate on getting better when you know you may have to move to a nursing home or chronic care ,'hospital, because. the help you need to get better at home isn't available. TYPICAL Bill Jones isn't a real person, but his plight is typical. Until' August many people m Huron County with chronic (long id -Sting) illness faced it. ' it was good news for all of them two months ago when Huron County was allocated almost Si million a year to provide services, through the Home Care Program, for people who heed chronic care. Home Care's longstanding acute care program continues unchanged. "it will help the dying; paraplegics; those who have multiple sclerosis or have had strokes," says Betty Cardno, Huron's director of Home Care. And people who need regular, longterm help but don't need to be in hospital. To qualify for the new chronic care program, the patient must require regular treatment from a medical professional. a nurse or therapist, but the old limit on homemaking services does not apply. 135 DAYS The average chronic care patient is on the program for 135 days. "Some will be on it for years," Mrs. Cardno says. Homemaking services for the Home Care Program are provided here by a private agency, the Town and Country Homemakers. Under the Home Care co-ordinators, Shelia Lancaster, left, and Cathie Rutter, with Huron Horne chronic care rules, Home Care will pay for up to 80 hours of homemaking in the patient's first month on the program and up to 40 hours in each following month. Those who don't qualify cap still pay homemakers on their own. The Wingham office number is 357-3210. The Town and Country Homemakers agency is now An the middle of its annual fund raising campaign. Homemakers are still needed by people who - don't qualify for either acute or chronic Home Care, One exciting thing about the chronic program, Mrs. Cardno says, is that across the province 30 per cent of patients are rehabilitated and become independent again. "Many patients may be able to manage again on their own eventually," if they pet the helms they need when it's essential. It's cheaper to tfeat chronic patients at home, 514.04 a day in Southwestern Ontario, versus a hospital per diem of 5220 at Seaforth Community Hospital, Patients are. often happier at home. ‘•F milies:,who Wondetigi Rome Pau?'..` chtenic program can help th m can pall Mrs Cardno, or M�►rd�(�itota�he a inpCaattFt' 4?f Cathie itntter; for aeri-ran Worn** of • 482.3416 P itients''must be ',referred for .assessment bytheir doctor., In the past for every 65 or /0 people to the program, 12 or 13 don't qusli `Dur' we don t just say no and leave t i*t *at.".Mrs. Cardno says. •••r "We'll hel to make,other arrangements. ,check into where.. a petal:es needs cap be met.
