PHONE 887-6528 Review home care TODAY'S CHILI) program in Huron During the past year 1972, 198 patients were prOvided with Home Care by the Huron. Home Care Program. The objectives of' Home Care are the care of the patient at home in place of hos- pital care, either by early dis- c harge or in place of hospital care. Horne Care is provided to se- lected patients, as ript everyone can be adequately cared for at home. The patient must be re- • ferred by their family doctor and must need either Nursing care or Physiotherapy, and their medical condition must appear to have a possibility of improving to a position of independence. When a patient is. accepted for Home Care, the following services may be provided, Nur- sing care, Physiotherapy, Home- making„ Drugs and Dressings, X-ray and Laboratory services. These services are arranged ac- cording to the individual require- ments of the patient. The cost of the service is paid by0.11.1.P.) the same as if the patient is in hospital. Home Care may be provided as long as the patient shows improvement. The only restric- tion is on the homerna,king ser- vice, which is • limited to 80 hours per patient. If home- patients received Physiotherapy, and 107 patients received Home- making. making is required for a longer period, it must be provided pri- vately or arranged through the Huron County Social Services. Of the 198 patients who re- ceived Home Care, 187 patients received Nursing care, 52 patients received Homemaking. The patients ranged in age from 10 years to 95 years. and 53 patients lived, alone. According to Mrs. Elizabeth Cardno, the Home Care Nursing Administrator, Home Care at present is limited to giving ac- tive treatment with rehabilitation to selected patients, and does not answer the needs of the patient requiring continuing care, such as Nursing or Homemaking. With the curtailment in Home- making service through Home Care, an alternative method of providing this should be de- veloped, she said. PLAN NOW TO ATTEND BY HELEN ALLEN LIKES NURSERY SCHOOL Bobby looks sweet and shy and gentle, and he is. This handsome little fellow has beautiful big blue-grey eyes, dark hair and fair skin with rosy cheeks. His back- ground is Anglo-Saxon. Bobby-four, is in good health but behind the average in general development. He was born prematurely and had an early hydrocephalic condition (abnormal build up of fluid inside the skull) which cleared up itself. Doctors say it is unlikely to reoccur. It is possible there may have been some slight pressure on the brain during this period. Bobby has been attending nursery school to give him extra stimulation. He is doing well there but is still considered to be a slow learner. Quiet, co-operative and happy, Bobby used to be passive if another child took his toys or hit him. Now he has learned to stand up for his rights a bit, though still doesn't like to hurt anybody or anything. With a good memory, especially for songs, Bobby picks up tunes fast and likes to sing the songs learned at nursery school. Bobby needs parents who will give him stimulation as well as love and attention. He should be the youngest in the family. To inquire about adopting Bobby, Please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information please contact your local Children's Aid Society.
