• TODAY'S HEALTH
Professional home. care
often better than hospital
by David Woods
Let's face it,. nobody thinks they
actually want@to go to hospital. But
some of us asCume -we ought to be
in hospital if we're sick enough to
need professional nursing, and often
- that's true.
But not always. Health planners
are becoming increasingly aware
that hospital care is not only highly
expensive, but that it may also im-
pose burdens beyond the illness it-
self: For example, unfamiliar sur-
roundings and ,disrupted patterns of
day-to-day living. And many times
the patient only needs .professional
nursing for about an hour each
day.
An increasing popular alternative
is home care:Obviously, there's no
. way you're going to have a team of
surgeons operating in your own
• bedroom, but there are certain
health problems that can be just as
effectively treated in the home.
Among these are post-surgical care,
and various forms of rehabilitation
and convalescence. •
How does home care work? Well,
first, says the Ontario Ministry of
Heath's principal program adviser
on home care; Dr. Robert King, any-
one insured under OHIP is eligible.
But it's available Only on the recom-
mendation of your physician.'
Ontario now has more than 40
home care programs, and most of
these are administered by local
boards of health .or by the Victorian
Order of Nurses.
Among the services provided are
physiotherapy, occupational and
speech therapy, diagnostic and lab-
oratory procedures, and • visiting
nurses and homemakers.
•The homemaker sees to the
smooth running of a patient's home
during the treatment, period = and

may look after children or elderly
people who normally depend on the
patient.
For more than 33,000 patients ad-
mitted to Ontario's home care pro-
gram in the year ended last March
31, says Dr. King, the average
length of, stay was 24 days at a cost
of less 'than $10 a day. This com-
pares with average hospital costs
'of eight to ten times that amount.
But while economics makes a
compelling case for home care, there
are other advantages both to the
health care system and to the in:
dividual patient. For instance, the
person who doesn't actually need a
hospital bed and who can be
assured of competent care at home
— can free that bed for someone
who really needs it.
. Moreover, continuing home treat-
ment by. professionals, coupled with
the encouragement and support of
the' family in tine's own environ-
ment is a sound formula for effec-
tive health care. Not only that, but
home care also hands back at least
some of the responsibility for ther-
apy to the patient and the patient's
family, making•them participants in
the therapeutic process.
Bart ,home , care doesn't replace
hospital' care. It's an alternative to
hospital care that only works where
doctor and patient agree that the
home provides an environment that
is better than, or at least as good as,
the hospital.

RUCNv'agCCoo,
Rocky Raccoon has sonei
mation and tips from the
land Valley Conservationki
ity concerning woodlots and
benefits.
Woodlots and forest covet
a very important role inbt
to protect the land from hal
winds and flooding. While
breaks prevent wind erosion
may save on your fuel bill
winter , they also help to to
seasonal surface water rum
and therefore act taeoinbi
ing,
Other benefits are thatwa
and swamps serve as natural
voirs to provide water for sp
and wells , and woodlots oftr
provide good habitat for da
wildlife.
In addition to providing r
for. home use , woodlots are;
ally cash producers in thatl
and lumber products and ml
syrup products have a goad
market value.
Next time, Rocky will of
hints on how to gain these
fits through ,protection of yt
