Clinton News-Record Increased public awareness along with a move to a more visible loca- tion has led to much busier times for the Alzheimer Society of Huron County. The society office recently moved for the second time in just over a year, in order to obtain more space to provide its expanded services. In November of 1999, explained Cathy Ritsema, executive Director for the local Society, the office moved from Huronview to the Betty Cardno Memorial Centre in Clinton. At that time, she said, it was not con- firmed the government would be pro- viding the additional funding for edu- cation. "Because of that funding, aware- ness has increased," she said, noting that people are thus seeking more information and more education on the disease, "so we grew out of our space." -- In fact, Ritsema said that since moving into Clinton, the presence of brothers George and Robert Paulin. Visitation was at the McBurney Funeral Home, Wingham on Monday from 2 - 4 and 7 - 9 p.m. Funeral service was held at the funeral home on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. Rev. Linda Moffatt officiated. Interment was in Wroxeter Cemetery. Memorial donations to Wingham and District Hospital Foundation or Bluevale Senior Citizens would be appreciated as expressions of sym- pathy. the society has -grown to such a point that walk-in traffic to the office has increased 10-fold. "When we were at Huronview, one or two people stopped at the office, now there are 10 to 20." With renovations to the centre, and the move there by the Huron Adult Day Centre, Ritsema said the build- ing's owners, Town and Country Support Services, decided to put on an addition, and into this addition the Alzheimer Society recently moved. While attempts to hold Alzheimer's disease support groups in Clinton have failed in the past, the new office space will allow the local society to host the meetings in their own office. The group meetings, which will run every Tuesday in February from 330 to 5 p.m. will share information with caregivers about Alzheimers, what services-are available and where they can receive the most assistance. Ritsema said these meetings are important for a few reasons - they allow caregivers to get out of the home for a time, and they will also BRIAN JEFFERSON Brian Jefferson, 40, of Wingham passed away at his residence, Jan. 23, 2001. Born in Clinton, Jan. 20, 1961, he was the beloved son of Wes Jefferson (deceased) and Eilleen Josling. He also leaves to mourn his sisters and brothers Debbie and Dwayne Berkholtz, AB, Gerald and MaryEllen Jefferson. RR2, Auburn, Doreen and Murray Thompson, RR1, Belgrave, Bill and Debbie Jefferson, Teeswater and Diane and have the chance to meet with others who are going through the same experiences. Caregivers, she continued, are most often family members, and the efforts they put into caring for a loved one can be phenomenal. "Being a caregiver...it's a 36-hour day, as it is known, because it never stops," Ritsema said. A support group can give these caregivers a chance to talk about what they are facing, and Ritsema said, "The more they talk; the more they learn there is help." The Huron County Alzheimer Society can also give assistance to caregivers through a respite fund, which is run by the volunteer board. The board, Ritsema said, felt is was very important to have money put aside for people who can't afford respite. Through the fund, the society will pay half the cost of a bed at a long-term care facility, up to $500 a year, so that caregivers can have a break from their responsibilities. Another program operated by the local society is Special Steps, in David Thomson of Wingham as well as several nieces and nephews. He was also predeceased by his brother Barry. The funeral service - was held Friday, Jan. 26 at MacKenzie and McCreath Funeral Home, Lucknow. Rev. Gem Preston officiated. Spring interment will take place at Greenhill Cemetery, Lucknow. Pallbearers were Jimmy Scott, Bob Woods, Bill Robinson, David Thomson, Murray Thompson and Steve Chamney. which volunteers are trained to work with people with Alzheimer Disease. "It gives caregivers a break for an hour or two a week," Ritsema said, as volunteers go out for walks with peo- ple with the disease, or participate in other activities. "It is geared to what the people with the disease want to do." Apart from hosting support groups and training volunteers, the Huron County Alzheimer Society has an extensive lending library, offering videos, books and audio cassettes. "We have a very good library," Ritsema said. They also address groups to aid with education on Alzheimers, and do much supportive listening. Commenting on this latter topic, the executive director said that while not all people are willing or able to attend support groups, they will sometimes just call the office to talk. "We do telephone reassurance. People call in and talk about what's happening," she said. An open house was held on Thursday, Jan. 25.
