After their regular shift Ihey often volunteer to take the residents on special outings most also become friends of the elderly residents On staff are registered nurses registered nursing itions nurses aids health care aids housekeepers cooks en occupational therapist and on activity director All work hard at making the residents feel at home Mr Bouwmeestcr was pleased in June during Senior Citizens Week when it was also called Nursing Home Week Most people do not know the between a nursing home and a rest home and he felt the special week would help the public understand the differences There are many types of senior citizen Firstly said there Is home care where children and friends take core of them A Victoria Order of Nurses employee will drop by every few days to assist in any way necessary He the next step is the senior citizen apartment for those who are able to live alone but do not need the space of a house Those needing minimum care can be accommodated In a home for the aged pointed out he Is not aware of any provincial regul on this type of institution but noted there are strict municipal regulations Next Is the nursing home the former social worker says A step beyond this type of care is the rehabilitation hospital and the chronic care hospital unit An active treatment hospital Is the last step in caring for the elderly of this country he noted Mr Is torn between his feelings about the government being Involved Ha said he think they shtiuld be Involved yet If they wercn t one could move to various areas of the country and have different guide lines set down If government was not Involved he said there is always the home which would take advantage of costs rules care etc The competent operator understands the need for government he said The decision to purchase Eden House was not a quick one he explains His parents the Davidsons originally owned the place and Gill worked there as an Bouwmeester started In isrre after having been a social worker for the Ministry ofCorrectlonal Services and the Ministry of Health When the Davidsons wanted to retire they automatic ally looked towards their daughter and her husband to buy it Bouwmeestcr explains they were not immed iately eager to devote their lives to It He ex it Is a hour ualness seven days a week and they prac have to marry the job After a year away the couple decided they were willing to take on the task emp hasizes the most import ant aspect of a nursing home is that it Is a home There are no patients only residents It is a health care facility licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Health Intended primarily for people who require i to hours of nursing care each day and medical supervision Residents arc en couraged to look their own banking but are warned about keeping expensive jewellery in their care Funds are placed In a trust account In the resident s name and not signed over to the home Residents finances are audited annually by a public accountant to ensure no funds have been pilfered Nursing homes are big business Mr Bouwmeester says Large corporations own many homes He himself recommends smaller homes because of the homelike atmosphere The larger the home the more it is going to be he states With many smaller homes in the area rather than one large one residents ore more likely to be able to slay close to home where family and friends are He noted however that there are some good large homes He is not critical of them all George Elliott one of he residents noted Its just like a club here and all very happy He smiled he contln ued his rug hooking for which he has become very popular Rug hooking Is not the only thing George Is popular for He is only one of the two men in a sea of women and he enjoys the attention he receives Death Is inevitable in a nursing home and the explain thai all he residents seem to have accepted idea I hat they could be next If someone dies he said most of the residents want to say one last good bye before the body Is taken away Close friends of the deceased show great remorse but no more than if the r friend had just been moved to another home or to the hospital Gail says Residents also have plenty of lire around them to keep them Bouwmeesters children and pets are constantly around living in the house on the property They are friends of the residents The residents also enjoy crofts games lounging around and just visiting each other There is never a dull moment For those who do wish their privacy beautiful grounds ensure they can just sit in the sun or the shade if Ihey prefer running a nursing home Is a natural thing to do HELD OVER FOR 2ND SMASH WEEK THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK PLUS Cannonbalt The Won on Sale from discount plus Freight Tax You 1WOUELPHST GEORGETOWN OPEN SATURDAYS FOR 500 SALES SERVICE
