(photo by Anne Narejko) Chronic home care introduced in County Home care for the chronically ill, available in most counties throughout the province, will finally be in- troduced to Huron County October 15. Health Minister Keith Norton made the an- nouncement recently citing the growing number of elderly residents across the province who require long-term care. In Ontario there are 886,700 people over the age of 65 and that figure will increase to 1.38 million by the year 2002. The county health unit already offers acute home care which deals with short-term active treatment. However, Health Minister Norton said there is growing evidence that with chronic home care, elderly patients respond more quickly to treatment and are more content that it is received at home. The new program will serve approxithately 350 residents in Huron County at a cost, of $896,400 during the first year of operation. The home care program will offer nursing, homemaking, nutritional -coun- selling, occupational therapy and physiotherapy for the chronically ill. The Huron County Health Unit already administers an acute home care program and the chronic program will offer the same type of home care on an extended basis. Home care, an extension of service offered by the county health unit, wilhalso be ad- ministered by the unit. A co-ordinator will be hired to assess patients for eligibility and the services of nursing staff, physiotherapists and homemakers will be purcahsed. While the program will necessitate the hiring of certain personnel, such as therapists, nutritionists and coordinators, nursing and homemaking services will he purchased on a need basis. During 1982-83 more than 670 residents of Huron County received acute home care services at a total cost of $540,880. The average length of stay on the acute program is 30 days while the average. exceeds 130 days on the chronic home care program. The ministry's aim is to expand chronic home care to all areas of the province by March 1984. Thirty-four programs are already in operation and Huron is one of the last counties to receive provincial funding for the chronic care program. The chronic home care program enables people to be looked afterin the privacy of their own familiar surroundings, providing their doctors recommend the care. Boards expect enrolment decline By Stephanie Levesque About 30,000 elementary and secondary students will be hitting the books when schools open across Huron and Perth counties on Sept. 6. The board of education in the district, Huron County Board of Education and the Perth County Board of Education, recently released the number of students projected to arrive at school on the first day of the 1983-84 school year. The superintendent of program with the Huron Board of Education, Bob McCall, said the accuracy of the projected figures is "pretty high". A decline in enrolment is expected in most areas, with the major " exception being the elementary division in the Perth Board of Education system. In the kindergarten to Grade 8 public schools in Perth County, enrolment is expected to increase from the 1982 figure of 10,285 to 10,395. In a further breakdown, Stratford elementary school enrolment is expected to increase from 2,816 to 2,890 with the rest of the schools in the county anticipating an in- crease from 7,469 to 7,505. The secondary schools in Perth project a decline from 7,132 last year to an estimated 6,841 for this September. Last year Perth and Huron, as well as most of the secondary schools across the province, experienced the phenomenon of a greater number of secondary school students returning to the classroom than expected. Scarcity of employment was thought to be the main reason for the' high number of returning secondary school students. Unsure if the phenomenon will occur again this year, boards are taking a wait and see approach. Huron is anticipating that 3,688 secondary school Planning grant awarded A community planning study grant of $18, 160 has been awarded to the County of Huron, Claude Bennett, Minister of Municipal Af- fairs and Housing, announc- ed today. The grant will be used by the county in the preparation of a secondary plan for the Township of Hullett. Community planning study grants are designed to encourage municipalities to review and update their planning programs, zoning bylaws and other planning documents. They may also be used for special studies on local issues such as lakeshore development or commercial development along highways, and for energy - conserving planning measures.
