Home Support Will No Longer Include Cleaning Services The North West Health Authorities today jointly announced that as of June 1, 1999 they will no jonger be pro- viding cleaning services as part of the Home Support program. The CEOs of the Community Health Councils and the North West Community Health Services Society have been meeting over the past few months in a joint effort to manage home support services while remaining fiscally responsible, They have been reviewing the Home Support. services provided and have concluded that in order to provide services to those most in need resources must be redirected, This action is similar to steps taken in other regions across the province since Health Services wera regionalized in 1997. oe Home support services across the norhwest cost on aver- age $27.00 per hour. Cleaning services across the region cost approximately $400,000 per year. This means the ability to provide essential home support service such as bathing, feeding, skin care, dressing, and mobilizing Is affected. Cliants who will be impacied by this redirection of resources will begin recelving letters by the middle of July and will receive an in home visit shortly after to review their care needs and service requirements. During the visit particu- lar attention will be paid to their health and safety needs to ensure they are not placed al risk by any change In service. Alternatives for cleaning will be explared with cliants and they will be provided with an option to appeal il they feel thay have been dealt with unfairly. We are committed to promoting the healln and independ- ence of individuals and families. And as such our services are - designed to supplement rather than replace the efforts of an individual to care for themselves with the support of family, friends, and community services. The following are examples of services we will continue to provide under the home support program based on an indi- viduals assessed need: : PERSONAL CARE: Bathing, oral hygiene,.skin cara, toltet- ing, lifts and transfers, mobilization, feeding, medicine reminders, emptying ostamy bags, emptying and cleaning af urinary drainage systams : RESPITE CARE FOR CAREGIVERS: Wa provide relief time for the primary caregivers of people who cannot be left alone | {example: dementia client) so that they can have a break or altend to some family business.

Members have to raise $100,000 Legion approves new building IT’S OUT with the old, and in with the new, It’s taken the Terrace Legion 20 years to come to grips with this mandate. But last month, members finally voted in support of replacing the 70-year-old Legion building, “It’s a big step,’” admitted Pat Smith, Legion president, Although it is sad having to replace a Terrace Jand- mark, Smith said the deci- sion was necessary since. the building is falling apart. “The foundation is start- ing to fail and many por- tions are beyond repair,’”’ Smith said. But construction won't be- gin right away. Members have to raise $100,000 be- fore. there’s cnough money (o afford a new 3000-square foot building. Smith said he’s hoping Legion members will be able to raise the $100,000 by next spring, so construc- tion can begin soon after. Members will continue using the old building while the new one js being built. Temporary walls will be built, to separate Legion members from the construc- tion. “We're all going to have lo rough ita bit,” he added. The new building will contain everything the old building had — including fhe same bar, furniture and pool table. “Everything will be the same, but improved,”* Smith said, If anyone would like to make a donation to help pay for the new building, cail 635-5825 and ask for a staff member. = :s Leave the car at home and walk, » Stick with a spare tire "around the middle?
