HealthOakvilleBeaver By Julie Slack METROLAND MISSISSAUGA MEDIA GROUP Oakville seniors who receive extra services at home or in long-term care facilities rather than hospitals are bene- fitting. Seniors shared their stories of thanks and relief this morn- ing as the Mississauga Halton Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) held a com- munity update and outlined Aging at Home program fund- ing totalling $11 million Wednesday at the Canadian Coptic Centre in Erin Mills. In total, Ontario will invest $1.1 billion over four years in the program. Brothers Eugene and Edward Gierczak said their father Ted avoided a lengthy wait in hospital and managed to stay at his retirement home when his GI-feeding tube came out. Thanks to a medical team of experts in place at Credit Valley Hospital, a few phone calls were made and within 20 minutes, a nurse practioner had a new GI-tube in place and Ted was back to his regular activities. This practice had never been done outside of a hospital before, said Edward. It was less distruptive, the time factor was great and it lessens the risk of infection and flu, transportation cost and stress, added Eugene. Aging at Home, under the direction of the local LHIN, the regional arm of the Ministry of Health, helps to ensure more seniors get need- ed health care at home or in the community. The funding, explained Mississauga Halton LHIN chief executive officer Bill MacLeod, allows seniors to lead independent lives while avoiding unnecessary visits to hospitals, which can ultimate- ly reduce emergency room wait times. Oakville Senior Citizens' Residence has helped Nora Groves live in the comforts of her own one-bedroom apart- ment. Care workers help her with cleaning, laundry, per- sonal help, showers and get- ting her support stockings on. Oakville's Citizen of the Year in 2001, Groves said her arthritis worsened as she got older. She can no longer stand long enough to prepare a hot dinner, so having that available at her residence allows her to live at home. Every day, she enjoys a nutritious hot meal and the companionship of friends. This year the Aging at Home pro- gram will provide enhanced in-home palliative care; supports for daily liv- ing, short-stay restorative programs; Alzheimer Society programs for those suffering from dementia and for their caregivers and a new SENACA Seniors' Day Program at the Canadian Coptic Centre for up to 20 seniors. Some of the other large funding boosts include $1.4 million for the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) for palliative care nursing in the last months of life at home. Mississauga Life Care will be able to provide 26 short stay beds in a long-term care home for seniors who are ready to leave the hospi- tal but still require addition- al support. They received $1 million. ging at Home program gets $11-million funding Nora Groves Specializes in: Pediatrics Pre and Postnatal Care Naturally Turning Breech Babies Headaches/Migraines Fertility Issues Low Back/Neck Pain Sciatica Posture and Osteoarthritis Dr. Jenna Davis Family Chiropractor/Acupuncturist 905.844.WELL (9355) Helping Families Every Step of the Way! www.acornhealth.ca drdavis@acornhealth.ca NEW LOCATION! 250 Wyecroft Rd., Unit 15, Oakville, ON Call today and receive a consultation, examination, state-of-the-art spinal and postural analysis, x-rays (if necessary) and report of findings for only $40 with the donation of 1 bag of canned food!
