The project started in mid July, 1991 and has recently been extended to March 31, 1994. About 570 patients have been admitâ€" ted to the program; some from emergenâ€" cy departments, some from inâ€"patient units of hospitals, and others from physician‘s offices. There have been patients of all ages from newborns to senior citizens â€" the largest group being 30 to 50 years of age. By far, the largest group of referred patients have required some form of intravenous therapy. A patient can receive treatment within several hours Weekend conference for nannies Boosting the quality and recognition of the work nannies do is the focus of an upcoming Toronto conference. This year‘s second annual National Nanny/Caregiver Conference begins this Friday, Sept. 17 and continues all day Saturday at the Holiday Innâ€"Downtownâ€"City Hall. Beginning with first aid seminars Saturday morning, the conference will follow through with informational workshops relating to the care of young children. The conference is open to nannies, caregivers, employers, parents, agencies and all others interested in the inâ€"home care industry. Marna Martin of Oakville, Coalition president and conferâ€" ence coâ€"ordinator, said parents hiring nannies are now looking for more than a babysitter. Organized by the Canadian Coalition for Inâ€"Home Care, a national nonâ€"profit organization formed in 1987 to represent the concerns of employers, employees and agencies involved in inâ€"home placement and to lobby for them, the conference is one means of working toward the Coalition‘s goal of increasâ€" ing the quality of caregiving in Canada, as well as recognition for caregivers. Although it represents many types of inâ€"home caregivers â€" for children, seniors, chronically ill, physically disabled and mentally challenged â€" Toronto‘s conference is dedicated to the provision of quality care by nannies. That‘s why the Coalition is stressing training in all aspects of inâ€"home care. Through better education and training will come increased status and recognition of the caregiver as a qualified and respected member of the Canadian working "You don‘t want a caregiver who will put the kids in front of a TV. You want one that‘s going to be more stimulative, one who‘ll provide more games, activities and that sort of thing," she said. We need positive caregivers, not only for our kids but for our elderty and disabled." In light of these goals, the Coalition was the only inâ€"care organization (as far as Martin knew) to fully back recent changes in governmental immigration policy. Last April, the Canadian government replaced its old Foreign Domestic Program with the Liveâ€"In Caregiver Program.

Over the course of a vear of the physician making a referral to Hospitalâ€"inâ€"theâ€"Home. Any physician with admitting privileges to the four regional hospitals may admit to the proâ€" gram. Another use for the program has been for people with some types of postâ€" operative orthopedic surgery. These patients are generally young with athletâ€" ic injuries. Instead of remaining in hosâ€" pital for 3 or 4 days plans are made for discharge from the hospital the same day as surgery. Palliative patients are another group that have benefitted from the program. These patients and their families have been provided with increased service, support, and teaching. To prevent an imply, immigrants seeking work in Canada can no longer apply merely as domestics or housekeepers; they have to be caregivers, explained Martin. As well, they needed to have had six months‘ fullâ€"time training and a minimum of Grade 12 or equivalent in their own countries. ‘‘The Coalition backed these requirements because it felt our Canadian kids need Grade 12, so foreign applicants should, too," said Martin. "If they don‘t have it when they come to this country, then Canadian taxpayers are burdened with having to provide upgrading for them." As well as these changes, the old stipulation that immiâ€" grants required one year of liveâ€"in experience was thrown out, leaving the field open to British and European caregivers who were formerly excluded because they usually went home at night, she said. Before, the old domestic program attracted many people from Third World countries who had worked as maids or lived in with other families in their own countries and who, once in Canada, tended to eventually move on to other jobs, said Martin. Now, more caregivers from Europe and especially Northern Ireland and Scotland are interested in nanny jobs in Canada and these people tend to make child care their career. However, Martin said the new regulations resulted in "a big increase in liveâ€"out nannies and it‘s harder to get liveâ€"ins" for the numerous two working parent families, the only ones who qualify. In fact, if one parent decided to stay home, the family would effectively be taken off the liveâ€"in list. Â¥ For more information on the nanny conference, call Tanya Fuller at 847â€"9713, Michelle Kenny at 845â€"6991 or Lisa O‘ Sullivan, §42â€"6165. ' Nannies, she noted, are not hired exclusively by the wealthy. Martin claimed it is less expensive â€" or about the. same â€" to employ a nanny for two children as it is to send, them to daycare. : "One big advantage is that parents don‘t have to take time: off work to care for a sick child," she said. % M Indeed, her Coalition states that "a nanny is no longer a luxury,‘ but has become a ‘necessity‘ in most cases. | 20 Coency Fumace PUTChageq from Union AND Make NO PHYMENTS UNTIL FEBRUF)RY ‘941+* PLUS 0p TA $50.00 CourPon Ward the Purchase of , Natural ..
