ra B TI I TT I ry Se Tn. rH --_------.r PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, October 17, 1995 - 13 "A Family Tradition for 128 gears : 1 Durham Red Cross marks Homemaker Service Week The Durham Region Homemaker Service of The Canadian Red Cross will be joining Home Sup- port agencies across Cana- da in the celebration of National Homemaker/ Home Support Worker Week '95, which began on Monday, Oct. 15 and runs until Friday, Oct. 20. Care in the home is the way of the future not only because it helps people maintain independence in their time of need, buton a larger scale because re- form in the Canadian health system means a growing shift towards community based servic- es. "The Red Cross offers a variety of programs and services that help people maintain a life in their own home. Without these services, many people would find themselves without any alternative but to leave their homes and live in an institution," said Lynn Moore, Director of Home Support Services, Ontario Division. "Homemakers and Home Support workers bring a human touch to the lives of many people and in doing so they also give independence, pride, and dignity." Red Cross offers a varie- ty of such programs in- cluding Homemaking, Seniors' Services, Meals On Wheels, Transporta- tion, Home Healthcare Equipment Services (HHES), to name but a few. Across Ontario the Red Cross Homemaking Seminars are for non-profit groups Community Volun- teer Accountants (Dur- ham Region) has an- nounced the first of its 1995-96 seminars to not-for-profit ~~ groups and associations to be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 25 at Whitby Town Hall.
