' Local Home Care since 1972 In Ontario, in answer to the increasing cost of hospitalization, there is springing up a network of Home Care Programs, financed by the Ontario Department of Health. These Programs make it possible for patients to receive hospital-type treat- ment at home at. no cost to the patient, provided they are covered by OHIP. Hence patients who do not require 24 hour care can be discharged earlier from hospital, or can be admitted to a Home Care Program in lieu of hospitalization. All patients admitted to the Program are referred by their own physician, who knows the medical treat- ment he wishes to provide for a specific illness, and also is familiar with the services that Home Care Programs can provide. A day on Home Care costs on the average $10; a day in an active bed at the Port Perry Community Memorial Hos- pital costs $54.90. In Ontario County the Home Care Program commenced in 1968. It now covers Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Port Pery, Uxbridge and the surrounding townships. It has been operating in the Port Perry area since May 1972. While the main office of the Program is situated with the Health Unit in the community service wing of the Oshawa General Hospi- tal, the actual services provided to the patient are obtained and purchased int he individual's own com- munity wherever possible.

Nursing is provided on a visiting basis by the Victor- ian Order of Nurses. Two physiotherapists are attached to the Program, and can give physiotherapy treatments at home "throughout the area. Arrangements can be made for speech therapy to be given at home. A patient must require one or more of the above three professional services to be eligible for admission to the Program. In addition, drugs and dressings are purchased from the local hospitals and drug stores; sick room equipment (such as hospital beds, wheel chairs, com- modes, walkers etc.) are obtained from either a loan cupboard or a rental agency, arrangements can be made for some labora- tory tests to be done at home. Families, too, participate as much as possible in the care of the patient. Occas- ionally if a patient must be alone for a few hours during the day, and cannot manage without asistance, a home- maker is provided by the Program for a limited period. In Port Perry homemakers are available through the Red Cross. The Oshawa Branch of the Red Cross extended their home- making service to/ Port Perry in January, 1972. This is a relatively new service here, and as well as being used by Home Care, is also available for anyone inthe community who needs a homemaker. The Red Cross have a sliding fee scale for their regular cases who are not covered by either Home Care or Social Service. Meals on Wheels is another community service that is utilized by the Home Care Program whereever it exists. Hence Home Care is the co-ordinated effort of several community services to provide medical treat- ment at home for patients under the direction of their attending physicians.

Mrs. Aiken made this possi- ble by doing the telephoning and we had a grand meeting with ten members of that church present and Mrs. Hunter who was pianist for the evening. Paul Jones opened the meeting by announcing hymn 44 and reading the first verse. Then the old favorite "Count your many blessings" was sung, fol- lowed by a prayer by Brother Aiken. Mrs. Scriver sang a beautiful song 'Put those arms around me'. Mrs. King gave two touching readings. There was one request hymn 'Abide with me'. Mr. Elford gave his personal testimony. Paul Jones entertained us with a lovely solo. . Mrs. Aiken read from Matthew, Chapter 7 ning at verse 7. Mrs. Scriver sang beauti- fully again, "The Shadow of His Wings." Mrs. Stewart offered a very earnest prayer. Beaton is the medical director. It is their aim to extend Home Care through- out the new region as rapidly as the necessary services can be developed in the communities. During the past year 651 cases were admitted. These cases were referred principally from the five hospitals in our area, but also from the community and from other hospitals in Ontario. It is anticipated that this service will grown in Port Perry, as the physicians and the community become more aware of it, and realize the benefits and advantages of "being ill at home' rather than "in hospital."
