from Blue Water board
Dr. Charles Wallace, a charter
member of the Blue Water Rest
Home board of directors, announced
his resignation after a two -decade
tenure at the board's 20th annual
meeting. held on June 18 in (he
Home's dining room. Michael O'Con-
nor was acclaimed to replace him as
the Zurich and District Chamber of
Commerce's representative.
Wallace presented his chairman's'
and medical director's reports.
leavening dry facts with dollops of
droll humour. Wallace termed the
past year a good one from a medical
point of view. He pointed out no
deaths occurred in a six-month
period, which speaks for itself when
considering that the average age of
residents is 85.
Wallace attributed residents' well-
being to a careful and cotscientious
nursing staff. He said the adjuvant
program had been very successful by
encourageing both physical and men-
tal activity among the residents.
-Wallace singled out the new com-
prehensive charting system as an ex-
ample of recent innovation. He noted
charting was becoming as important
as care, and remarked jokinglyihat
some hospitals seemed to give top
priority to the former, as far as'he
cele make out.
Terning to the administrative side.
Wallace meptioned the smooth
passage of the union agreement, com-
mending the staff for their
reasonableness. (A collective agree-
ment reached at the July 17. 1984
board of management meeting
stipulated a maximum increase of 40
cents per hour or five percent for
those eligible for the two-year wage
scale. Non-union staff, supervisors
and part-time staff received a 40 cent
per hour increase.)
In his annual report, administrator
Josef Risi presented an estimated
budget for the operation of the 64 -bed
nursing home for the 1985-86 fiscal
year. Expenses will total $932,842,
with -salaries accounting for $677,757,
and benefits taking $84.008 for the 19
full-time staffers and the 27 part-
timers.
Offsetting this will be $503;953 in
maintenance paid by residents, a pro-
vincial subsidy of $393,573, and in-
come of $24,090 from preferred ac-
commodation under the extended
care program.
In the past year a steam cooker was
added in the kitchen, eight hi -lo
mechanical beds were purchased for
the extended care section, the counter
at the nursing station was replaced,
the sewer bed replaced and the roof
repaired. Risi also mentioned the new
mobile chart cart, which he hopes will
5ring the Home one step closer to the
accreditation he would like to see in
the next two years.
Della Gascho reported for the
Ladies' Auxiliary.
Neil•Gingerich asked if the head
corse could sit on the board of
management. Risi replied that accor-
ling to present bylaws. that would be
t conflict of interest.
Wallace said a look back would
show that a prerequisite of employ-
ment stated the nursing director was
to attend board of management
.meetings, but "that fell by the
wayside".
A representative from the ministry
community and social services said
many boards arrange to have stall
members participate on sub-
committees.
Wallace was presented with a wall
clock complete with gavel. and
received a standing ovation.
