The Wingham Advance-Times, 1972-03-30, Page 5Mrs Betty Cardno, supervisor of the Home Care PrOgram in Huron County, appeared before county council Friday afternoon in Goderich to explain the service and to answer quett1on . Mrs. Cardno told councillors that even though Home Care is a county program, it is presently in serv- ice in Seatorth, Clinton and Goderich areas of .the county only; Homemakers, ,Mrs.. Cardno pointed out, are not immediately available in the Exeter and Wing- harrl areas, She hopes that some women from these districts will enroll for the certified homemak- ing courses being offered through Huron's branch of Conestoga Col- lege at Clinton, so that the re- quired personnel still be avail- able throughout the entire county of Huron. The Horne Care Plan is de- signed to free hospital beds in Huron County. It makes it possible for patients to leave ' pitol- early or, in ,00010.casee, r. permits them to r'erhaifii at i without entering hospital at alt. A patient must be WSW mended for the Home. Care ll. by the family physician. To be eligible, the patient must require some nursing or physiothera►py;, cage which, if the plan was VIP available, would necessitate hair' pitalization. Homemaking Seiv- ices, Mrs. Cardno stressed, to not.:. available through the'Home Cath''. • program by itself. "I. am not running a home-' maker service," commenter Mrs.-Cardno, `but .I do have a of homemakers who are avail- able for work in the county.' Home Care is funded 100 per cent by the provincialovv "« rid, ment, All costs to the patient approved the Home Care pf gram . will be paid by .the prov-7: inces, just as 'though he, or lam;' was in hospital.

There is also a y limit on the service. In some cases, this can be extended to 60 days and in the case of cancer patients, the service will continue as long as it is required. At present in Huron County, about 20 patients a month are benefitting from the service. "It is not a high number," ob- served Dr. Frank Mills, Acting Medical Officer of Health, "but it is a very important number when one considers the cost of diem hospital care." Mrs. Cardno said another point in favor of the plan is that in many cases patients get well more quickly when they are at home with their families and in familiar surroundings. In other business last Friday, council reviewed the operational policy guidelines for Huron's wel- fare recipients. Welfare Ad- ministrator John MacKinnon was on hand to answer council's ques- tions. Mr. MacKinnon also re- ported that the present staff is able to keep up with the workload even though the first three months of operation have been heavy ones. He also noted that about 75 po- tential welfare recipients wilLbe coming 'off the winter works pro- gram at the first of April. He urged the municipalities to report any jobs which could be made available to' these persons.
