Ontario pays all seniors a per month comfort allowance which is supposed to go for any small amenities they need But because most of the recipients are the money being paid tends to mount up to sums excess of SIS to per home according to Burlington Councillor James Grieve Mr Grieve has asked the region to change a recommendation from the health and social services committee from receiving and filing ity of Chatham re solution to full en dorsal ion The resolution asked that statutes regarding the comfort allowance be changed to allow managers and operators of senior citizens re sidences to have access to the built up funds to help offset expenses This money can ac cumulate for legitimate needs up to and some eases What 1 am saying is that it should be kept for the maintenance of the individual to keep some relative from coming and scooping it all up from some poor person Mr Grieve said Basically Mr Grieve said he thought the fund could be used by the home or institution to help defray costs of keeping the senior in the Councillor Bonnie Brown rose to ob ject to Mr Grieves changing the recom after we had decided for receiving and filing at committee be cause she felt such a provision would lead to other evils perpetrated against seniors The committee had voted four to two for simple filing Mrs Brown said because it would allow the administration to dip into the fund when ever they wanted to No doubt they thing Mr Grieve describes happens occasionally But the problem is that with the numbers of seniors in society growing the way it is more and more people are getting Into the of running homes and believe me it is a business Not all of them are as as our own Centennial Manor and 1 think it gives an opening to less scrupulous people who run these establish ments she
