N7A 1M2 r County to keep homemakers operating Huron County Council agreed Friday to pick up a $5,100 tab to keep a county homemaker service operating for families in the county in need of domestic assistance because of illness, old age or handicaps. The service has been operating for almost a year under a Canada Works grant but to continue operating the service must be self sup­ porting by January 1, 1979 and needs county help to meet that objection. Jean Young, ad­ ministrator of the service, appealed to council Friday explaining that the service is $5,099 away frQm being self supporting with the clients it now serves. She said the budget for the homemaker service has been drawn up for 1979 and after expenses is that much short of paying for itself. She said the service needed assurance that the funds would made available to plan operation in the coming year adding that any fund raising held in 1979 would earn funds that could be used for clients that qualify for assistance by the homemakers but are being turned away because of a shortage of money. Young told council that the reaction to the homemakers service when it began operation proved that there was a need for the senrice in Huron County. She said homemakers needs in the county were going unanswered and that homemakers were unem­ ployed. The administrator said she and Betty Cardno, nursing administrator for the county health unit, applied for start up funds from Canada Works a year ago and began to organize a homemaker service. She said the service was designed to co-ordinate a homemaking service for the elderly, chronically ill, disabled., handicapped and for single parent families with children providing full- time, part-time, overnight and live in homemaking service. The Canada works grant enabled the homemaking service to establish itself and plans were made to make the agency self supporting selling its service on a fee for service basis and seeking support from community service clubs and municipal governments in the county. Young said the fee service enables the agency to sell its services to Children’s Aid, and cancer society and to private in­ dividuals. She said the fees are established on an ability to pay basis meaning that a client’s income is deter­ mined and based on that income the fee they will be charged is determined. She told council that the homemaking service has been instrumental in allowing many people in the county to leave institutions and return to their homes to Armstrong, Goderich; Mr. & Mrs. Harold Willert, Hen- sall; Mr. & Mrs. Norman Koehler, Zurich.

Called “This is your world”, the open house has been planned to give the public a look at what science, engineering, technology, research and development have ac­ complished and the new frontiers yet to be explored. live with the assistance of a homemaker, She said the cost to taxpayers is dramatically less if a service is offered in the home rather than in an institution such as a hospital or senior citizens home. She explained that clients in the past year had pur­ chased $71,135 worth of services from the homemaker agency and that if those people had been in nursing homes the costs would have been $102,755 and if they had been in hospital it would have totalled $564,487. “The difference in tax dollars saved is $596,107,” she said. “As you can see we are not only a vital em­ ployment agency throughout Huron County but an economical member of the whole health service team,” Young said the service has 71 people on staff and has sold 10,229 hours of service to 100 different private clients. She said the rate charged health and social agencies is $4.20 in a town and $4.60 for out of town clients. She added that live in and overnight rates differ ac­ cording to qualifications of the worker and the work required by the client. She told council that 14 percent of the population of Huron County is over 65 and that very few of those people need to be in institutions. She said government and private concerns are strongly suggesting that home based services be established to help people of all economic backgrounds remain in their home and out of costly facilities such as hospitals. She pointed out that some of the direct benefits of the homemaker agency is that it permits single parent families to stay together freeing the parent to go out to work and enabling the children to continue their schooling. It eliminates the psychological problems of people about to enter in- stitution8 and frees needed hospital beds for the acutely ill and is a source of em­ ployment for thousands of educationally disadvantaged men and women. Paul Steckele, Stanley township deputy-reeve, said he was surprised senior levels of government were not giving this type of ser­ vice more consideration. He said the “tax savings were staggering and if they were indicative of fact govern­ ment should show more interest in this type of ser­ vice rather than institutions that were so costly.” Betty Cardno advised council that consideration was being given homemaker agencies to expand them. She said governments were concerned about possible abuse of the service on a provincial basis and wanted to tighten up administration of it before implementing any programs. Cardno explained that the homemaking agency provides only 80 hours of service using government funds and then the client receiving the service must pay for any additional time. She said one of the concerns of government was that doctors may recommend that a patient receive homemaker services rather than have that patient placed in an institution. She said at present the doctors’ recommendation may mean the service would be paid for by government and that type of possibility had to be removed before government would sanction the service. \ Decorate your home with beautiful CUSTOM DRAPES Gabian Stone Calcium Chloride in 100 pound bags Sand & Stone Gravel Stone for Weeping Beds A Choose the fabrics and the styles you want and Barb Whiting will custom make your drapes for you.
