Craigwiel Gardens was able to
generate a small surplus for the
year ending March 31, 1997 despite
the tight funding situation the
long-term care sector has been
operating within •for some years:
The corporation has been'practicing
careful -fiscal constraint to ensure
its on going viability. Accordingly,
it has been making many
'significant changes throughout the
last •several years in an attempt to
be as efficient as possible - with
available funding: Recent increases
from the Ministry of Health,
'effective August 1, 1997, will
. allow. Craigwiel • Gardens to
increase its hands-on nursing hours,
life enrichment staffing, and make
some improvements to its building.
As a public corporation, Craigwiel
Gardens makes its financial
statements available to any
individual who requests them from
the business office.
, On June 9 of this year, Craigwiel
Gardens welcomed a new Director
of Resident Careto its management.
team. Her name is Karen Fuller and
she brings with her many years of
knowledge and experience, gained
through various" positions in the
long-term care industry. Most
recently she. has worked for
Diversicare, a corporation. which
owns and- operates a number of
long-term care facilities across
North - America. She has held
positions as Director of Resident
Care, Administrator • and Staff

Craigwiel Gardens is confident that
the nursing department will only
continue .to improve under her
capable guidance. If you are in the

plans to expand -its' Activity Centre
• which houses the Craigwiel Adult
Day Program and . Alzheimers
• Program on. a daily- basis and is
available to other groups during
evening, hours. With additional
space available it is felt that
alternative programs could be
offered to the seniors who attend
the Day Program. For example,
sight impaired clients could enjoy a
music program in a one room while
a film was showing in'a .second.
Also included in an expansion •
- would be health care facilities for

About 196 of the world's population suffer from
schizophrenia. People with schizophrenia may
experience hallucinations and delusions which
they, cannot distinguish from reality.
Although heredity does play a role in schizophrenia, some re-
searchers believe that schizophrenia may be the result:of a viral
infection affecting the brain early _in. life or from mild -brain dam-
age from complications during birth.
Schizophrenia is not caused by bad parenting or personal weak-
ness but appears to be due to problems with brain chemistry and
structure. By the way, schizophrenia does not mean multiple per-
sonalities.. -
Schizophrenia is a treatable disorder: Studies show that after ten
years. of treatment, 25% of those with schizophrenia recover com-
pletely. New drugs are always coming on the market and these
drugs show definite improvements over older treatments.
