\ i Home Care Services Appreciated by Grateful Sharon Dixon, a co-ordinator and nurse with the Home Care Program, takes time to visit with several of the patients each week. Mr. Smyth left the hospital about nine months ago to return to his home and care for himself. He cooks all his own meals and does various chores around the house, but he says he is very grateful for the help that the people at Home Care have given him. by Tammy Hill Whether you are ill, frail, elderly of disabled, it is much nicer to spend your time at home rather than in the confines of a hospital. Marilyn Robertson, assistant assistant administrator of Home Care Oshawa, commented that the program was originally originally set up by the government government so there would be less of a demand on hospital beds. Since 1967 the Home Care Program, affiliated with the Department of Health, has been established in Oshawa. The program is aimed towards short or long term professional health care for individuals wishing wishing to stay at home but who are unable to reach an outpatient outpatient facility. The program is offered by referral of a physician. A co-ordinator from Home Care will then assess each patient individually to determine determine whether he or she is eligible. In order to qualify, a patient patient must need one of four available services. These are:' nursing, physical and occupational therapy and speech therapy. Support services are also available to the patient in their home. These include: social work and nutritional counselling, counselling, respiratory technology, technology, homemaking, meals on wheels, drugs, dressings, medical equipment and transportation to and from medical appointments. Although Home Care does providè a limited amount of non-medical home care to the patient, it Patients does not employ a full staff for that service and will usually direct the patient to a private service. There are already 16 such services in Ontario. And the program is constantly constantly expanding and growing. They estimate that their services treat 500 to 600 long-term patients per month. Mr. Smyth, aBowmanville resident, has been taking advantage of the program for almost niné months now and says, "Everyone that has come has been wonderful. wonderful. They have been kind and helpful.", Mr. Smyth . was a patient in a number of hospitals for several months, however he wanted to be in his own home. "I knew I could look after myself," he said. "I can sit and read or watch t.v. I can do whatever I want," he commented. "I was so happy to be home." With the help of Home Care professionals, Mr. Smyth gets along in his home with few difficulties. He receives treatment from therapists several times each week and chores such as laundry are also done by Home Care workers. But the 92-year-old man has not lost his eagerness to keep active. He prepares all of his own meals, receives a ride to the grocery store on Wednesdays to do his shopping shopping and even attempts to scrub the floor. And just recently recently Mr. Smyth received two artificial legs which he is learning to use in order to be "up and around" in the near future. . Mr. Smyth looks at Home Care as a challenge he intends intends to meet, "If you're willing you can do it."
