(This column has been pre- pared as a public service by the Ontario Nursing Home Association Do all Nursing Homes have registeréd nurses on staff? ..Ontario Nursing Homes are licensed by.the Ministry of Health and must meet specific regulations in the Nursing Homes Act 1972 regarding nursing staff. Nursing Homes are staffed by Registered Nurses, Regis- tered Nursing Assistants and Health Care Aides. All nur- 'sing homes have a Director of Nursing, who is a registered nurse. All nursing home residents who are eligible under the Extended Care program must receive a min- imum of 1% hours nursing care daily. Every nursing home has a registered nurse on call at all times. The nursing program is carried out under the direcion of the resident's physician. How do Nursing Homes and other Extended Care Facil- itie help elderly peaple rema ctive? Activit "programs are vital to residents of extend: care facilities. Programs are, designed to help people keep mentally alert and happy --so they continue to take an interest in life.

Recent- * ly, a service club-in Metro- ~ . politan Toronto donated an oven and refrigerator to a nursing home so residents could bake and prepare favorite recipes. The two appliances will be located in the activity room, where residents will be able to enjoy using them under the super- vision of the Home's Activity Director. When should you start plann- ing for Retirement? You should start thinking about retirement plans early. In fact some health profes- sionals, who have retired, suggest the mid-forties is not too early. Most persons retiring fronf an active work role find their greatest need, - beyond the necessities of life, is to find a satisfying substi- tute role. This may be in the form of continuing to work' part-time, to take courses to learn about new things or to invest more time in hobby ° interests. Many senior citi- zens are serving as volun- teers. The kind of 'adjust- ment and degree of happi- ness achieved in retirement arelikely tobe a continuation of the happiness found in the middle and earlier years of your life. One retired profes- sional stres the point: to keep well adjusted after retirement a person has to keep mentally active. Where can I obtain more information about planning for Retirement? The _ Senior Citizens" Bureau, Ministry of Com- munity and Social Services, 5th Floor, Hepburn Block, Queen's Park, Toronto, M7A 1A2 assists 1 the formation of pre-retirement courses for companies and private groups. A number of Com- munity Colleges in the pro- vince are giving courses on retirement. If Ilivein a nursing home can I continue to go shopping and visiting in the community? Residents ot nursing Le \ homes, with the permission of their doctor, are allowed to live a very normal life. They can visit friends and take part in outside activities. Residents are able to take two weeks vacation, annual- ly, under present legislation. Ihave been told I should lopk for a Nursing Home for an elderly uncle, what is the difference between one nur- sing home and another? . Members of the Ontario Nursing Home Association who' are owners of nursing homes realize that nursing homes have different atmospheres and appeal to people in different ways. For instance, it may be a con- "venience to you to choose a nursing home close to where youlive-so you can visit your uncle easily. If your uncle is anextrovert and hasled-a life where he has been in contact with many people, he may preted toliveina large home " where there are many resid- ents and all sorts of activities and programs. One large nursing home has a men's club that meets weekly. If he . is used to the city, a down- town nursing home may appeal tohim, However, if he is used to a rural, environ- meént he may prefer a small- er home in the country,: where he can enjoy being bustle of a busy town or city. If you visit a nursing home discuss the facilities with the administrator and or -the Director of Nursing to help you make the best decision. 'How do I apply for the Meals-On-Wheels program?
