. 23, 1994 y WILMA BLOKHUIS ocus Editor What does a church do with its ccess property? Find a worthwhile and much eeded community program and rovide a building. This is what len Abbey United Church plans to o. Because their new church buildâ€" . ng, currently under construction, quires a little over half their propâ€" rty at Nottinghill Gate and Upper iddle Road, the church has decidâ€" d to built an Alzheimer Respite are Home on the remaining land. "We have 2.5 acres available to uild an Alzheimer Respite Care ome," says Glenys Reither, buildâ€" ng committee chair for Glen Abbey nited Church. "The type and size f this building, separate from the hurch, will depending on funding. "We would like to start building s soon as possible, and we‘re nvestigating several different ources for funding," said Reither, dding, "this process of obtaining unding is taking longer than we ad expected." Nevertheless, the church for orging ahead with its proposed proâ€" , with the blessing of the ect }-[alton-Wentworth Chapter of jobsOntario e Training Alzheimer Society. Currently, says Reither, there is no facility offering respite care for Alzheimer patients and their famiâ€" lies and caregivers in Halton, "despite the tremendous need." (However, there is day care availâ€" able for Alzheimer patients from the Halton Victorian of Nurses and SENACA Day Care Program for Seniors, both in Oakville.) Glen Abbey United Church and the Alzheimer Society have formed a partnership to provide a facility offering an array of respite services from care of patients and relief for caregivers, plus rooms for shortâ€" term residential use. This will allow caregivers, usually family members, to enjoy a holiday knowing the patient is being cared for in a familâ€" iar setting. The proposal calls for a centre which can handle up to 45 patients visiting daily, and 20 to 30 beds available for shortâ€"term care. The centre‘s services would be available to all of Halton. "About 1,700 people in Halton suffer from Alzheimer‘s disease," state the Alzheimer Society and Glen Abbey United Church. "About oneâ€"third, or 570 with moderate to severe dementia need respite care.

On the waiting list for beds, there are 320 hold or deferred patients and 350 patients on the urgent list. The Ontario govâ€" ernment acknowledges that Halton has one of the lowest ratios of longâ€" term health care beds per capita in the province. The Glen Abbey proâ€" ject will only meet a small portion of the needs in Halton." The proposal was "put together by a team of visionaries," says Rev. Bill Brown, pastor of Glen Abbey . United Church, "a small group of interested members of our church and the Haltonâ€"Wentworth Chapter of the Alzheimer Society. "In fact, two members of our congregation approached the Alzheimer Society, wanting to do something original using the extra land, and at the same time, fill a special need," said Brown. The church made its proposal to the society about a year ago, and monthly meetings have been held since aimed at bringing this proposâ€" al to fruition. "And, the society was thrilled to hear of our plans," added Reither. "The timing happened to be just right for them because they were looking for ways to fill this need." The society will be responsible for the dayâ€"toâ€"day operation and funcâ€" tion of the building, and the church will raise the funds and provide the building, as well as handling all publicâ€"relations, promotion and fundraising. The society will come up with design requirements, and the church will hire the architect. "But," says Reither, "we‘ll need to get the community involved. The Ontario Ministry of Health is not in a position to provide ongoing ‘finanâ€" cial support, and the Halton‘Long Term Care Committee supports the project in principal but is unable to provide any money." Glen Abbey United Church sees this proposal as an "exciting, approâ€" priate and timely project," adds Brown. "Educating the community about Alzheimer‘s and providing support to caregivers are its most important features."
