some of the newer concepts for
the care of the mentally re-
tarded. Much more space has
been allocated to the day wards,
recreational and training areas.
There is a great increase in the
amount of window space which
contributes a bright cherry at-
mosphere which certainly will
be of benefit both to patients
and to employees.
The centre itself has only
240 beds and has been kept in-
tentionally small so that it may
better become integrated into
the community. A start in this
integration has already begun
here with the centre admitting
as day pupils the students of the
local educational authority, an
arrangement which is working
out very satisfactorily to both
the centre and the community.
The centre will service sev-
en counties, Bruce, Grey, Duf-
ferin, Wellington, Waterloo,
Huron and Perth and will admit
as patients retarded children
from this area between the
ages of 6 and 16 who are am-
bulatory. The programming for
the care of patients will de-
pend on the degree of retarda-
tion and on other factors. For
some, education and training
will make it possible for them
to return to the community and
assume their full responsibilities
as members of the community.
To others, education and train-
ing may fit them to live in the
community in a semi -protec-
tive environment and yet be
able to contribute something to
the community. There will
however, be those who require
care for the rest of their lives
and who will never be able to
function in the community.
Here the aim is to train them
to the limit of their capacity
and to provide them with as re-
warding a life as possible.
The Out -Patient Department
of the centre will assume an in-
creasing importance as time
goes on. Here parents of re-
tarded or problem children may
bring them for assessment and
discussion of their problem.
We envisage the Hospital -
School of the future as filling
the role of both a school and a
hospital and becoming an in-
tegral part of the community.
