County grant keeps homemaker
service operating another year
BY JEFF SEDDON
Huron County Council
agreed Friday to pick up
a $5,100 tab to keep a
county homemaker
service operating for
famtlishrthe c ountY
need off domestic
assistance because of
illness, old a-ge-or han-
dicaps. The• service has
been operating for almost
a year under a Canada
Works grant but to
continue operating the
service must be self-
supporting by January 1,
1979 and needs county
help to meet that ob-
jective.
Jean Young, ad-
ministrator of the ser-
vice, appealed to council
Friday explaining ' that
the service is $5,099 away
from being self sup-
porting with the clients it
. now serves. She said the
budget for the
homemaker service has
.A.p.oheen,„--drawn:+,up-for--1,9.75,,
much short of paying for
itself. She said the ser-
vice needed assurance
that the funds would be
made available' to plan
Operation in the coming
year adding that any fund
raising held in 1979 would
earn funds that could be
used for clients that
qualify for assistance by
the homemakers but are
being 'turned away

because of a shortage of
money.
Young told council that
the reaction to the
homemakers service
when it heg an operation
provedhat there was a
need for the service in
Huron County. She said
-home-ftfake-f 1146n -in the -
county were going
unanswered and that
homemakers were
unemployed.
The administrator said
she and Betty Cardno,
nursing administrator for
the county health unit,
applied for start up funds
from Canad4 Works a
year ago and began to
organize a homemaker
service. She said the
service was designed to
co-ordinate a
homemaking service for
the elderly, chronically
ill, disabled, handicapped
and for single parent
families . with chj1�j-e»,..
time, overnight and live-
in homemaking service.
The Canada Works
grant enabled the
homemaking ,serVice to
establish itself and plans
were made to make the
agency self-supporting
selling its service on a fee
for service basis and
seeking support from
community service clubs
and municipal govern-
ments in the county.
Yoong said the fee for
service enables the
agency to sell its services
to Children's Aid, the
cancer society- and 40
private individuals. She
said the fees are
established on an ability
to pay basis meaning that
a client's income is
determined and based on
that income the fee they
will be charged is
determined.
She told council that the
homemaking service has
been instrumental in
allowing many people in
the county to leave in-
stitutions and return to
their homes to live with
the assistance of a
homemaker. She said the
cost to taxpayers is
dramatically less if a
service is offered in the
home rather than in an
institution such as a
hospital or senior citizens
home.
She explained that
clients in the past year
had purchased $71,135
worth of services from
the homemaker agency
and that if those people
had been in nursing
homes the cost would
have been $102,755 and if
they had been in hospital
it would havetotalled
$569,487.
"The difference in tax
dollars saved is $596,107,''
she said, '"As you can see

Young said the service
has 71 people on staff and
has sold 10,229 hours of
service to 100 different
private clients. She said
the rate charged health
and social agencies is
$4.20 in a town and $4.60
for out of town clients.
She added that live in and
overnight rates differ
according to
qualifications of the
worker and th,e work
required by the client.
She told council that 14
percent of the population
of Huron County is over
65 and that very. few -of -
those peop1 need to be in
institutions. She said
government and private
concerns are strongly
suggesting that home
based services be
established to help people
of all economic
backgrounds remain in
their home and out of
costly facilities such as
hospitals. She pointed out
that some of the direct
benefits of the Paul Steckle, Stanley
homemaker agency ,is township deputy -reeve,
that it permits single said he was surprised

were indicative of fact
government should show
more interest in this type
of service rather than
institutions that were so
costly."
Betty Cardno advised
council that con-
sideration was being
given homemaker
agencies to expand them. -
She said governments
were concerned about
possible abuse of the
service on a provincial
basis and 'wanted to
tighten up administration
of it before implementing
any programs.

program in effect,
decisions will have to be
made that won't be
popular with the
ratepayer observed
Frayne. It is a possibility
that one of the five county
high ..schools may _ close
and the county will have
to get along with four.
. Frayne said _he- is_ on a
committee considering
the replacement of
equipment in the schools.
He said technical
equipment was highly
subsidized when it was
brought into the schools
ten years ago but
replacement has
deteriorated. Some
equipment is in bad shape
and some is obsolete he
said adding that teachers
no longer have the money
to use to provide
classroom materials and
students are being asked
to bring materials to
school to work with.
'—"IThom-einalming-a-gency
provides only 80 hours of
service using govern-
ment funds and then the
client receiving the
service must pay for any
additional time. She said
one of the concerns of
government was that
doctors may recommend
that a patient receive
homemaker services
rather than have that
patient placed in an in-
stitution. She said at
present the doctors'
recommendation may
mean the service would
be paid for by govern-
ment and that type of
possibility had to be
removed before gover-
nment would sanction the
service.
e .--Pcorn-nrittee--
learned it will take
$40,000. to replace out-
dated and rundown
equipment but the
board's budget com-
mittee cut that figure
down to $6,000 according
to Frayne. The com-
mittee will have to
present their findings to
the budget committee
again and this time "will
have to do a better selling
job" said Frayne.
He said it was an
education to "find out
what is going on in our
schools". He added that
teachers of the trainable
retarded are "something
else',' and that he had
never seen such
dedication.
