Terrace area care increasing

The Home Nursing
Care, or Home Care
Program as it is
generally referred to, has
been a service of the local
Health Unit in Terrace
for several years. It has,
however, in the past
months, become a much
more active program due
to the initiation of the
Long Term Care
Program, increased
awarness by the public of
its existence, It is a most
important home support
care service when we
consider how the
geriatric and or Long
Term Care patient is to
be adequately looked
after in the home
situation.

What service does this
program offer to our
community? The Home
Care Program presently
employs three part-time
registered nurses, with a
minimum of one nurse
available seven days a
week from 9:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. The nurse
makes home visits and
provides nursing care for
a patient as frequently as
once a day, or as in-
frequently as once a
month, depending on the
patient’s needs, There is
no charge ta the patient
for the nursing service,
however, the patient or
his family are respon-
sible for providing any
dressing, medication, or
other supplies which
might be needed by the
nurse in caring for the
patient. :

Requests fer this
service may come from
the patient himself, aly
family, neignvours,
family physician, ine
hospital, and other
community agencies.
Once the request has
been received, a nurse
‘will visit the patient to
assess his needs and
deterrainc if the patient
can be adequately and

safely cared for in his
own home, Following the
initial assessment visit,
the nurse will contact the
patient's family
physician, discuss the
needs of the patient, and
obtain written orders
from him regarding the
nursing care to be given.
The nurse keeps the
doctor informed of the
patient’s progress on a
continual basis.

At the present time,
there are over thirty
people receiving Home
Care in the Terrace area.
There is no age
specification, but the
majority of people visited
at this time are over 65
years of age.

The elderly have many
problems which can be
helped or overcome by
receiving Home Care.
The arthritic patient may
need as little aide as
assistance into and out of
the bath tub to keep him
independent and living at
home. Frequent visits by
the nurse to any
chronically ill patient
allows the doctor to be
aware of any present or
up-coming problems, as
well as saving the patient
uncomfortable and
exhausting trips to visit
the docior at his office.
One visit daily to the
blind diabetic patient to
give an insulin injection
means the difference
between living = in-
dependently or being
institutionalized.

Many of our elderly feel
at ease living with a
disability knowing a

“nurse will visit to agsis:

where needed, answer
questions, and give
reassurance. The nurse
will also arrange visits
from other community
agencies if required.

airport in an aircraft

have been taking part in
that. .
The private pilots,
search and rescue squad
members, parachute
jumpers and other
volunteers were taking
part in a scheduled
exercise here to train
tters and pilots for
craft searches, The
exercise was co-
ordinated through the

Emergency Program,
Stevenson said. the
purpose of this exercise
was to arrange for and
train pilots and crews to
back up military search
and rescue personnel in
the event an aircraft goes
missing in this area. —

“The basic idea is to
have local pilots and
crews of spotters go out
and locate crash sites in
the wilderness which we
have artificially
prepared using parts of
wrecked airplanes,’
Stevenson said.

Stevenson stressed that
it is important to have
trained pilots and spot-
ters who know the local
area,

“In this way if an
airplane should go down
in this area we can offer
valuable support to the
armed forces,” .

Stevenson, said there
are plans to form a
squadron ‘of volunteers

perience in this kind of
search procedure for the ,
area from Smithers. to.

Ernie Nordquist, a pilot
who flew in from

said this kind of drill is .

important because it is
very difficult to find a-
wreck from the air. It
takes some experience
and training to develop
the kind of concentration
required.

accidental fire could be

caution when travelling
in our forests. =

Also throughout the

Region, and all over

“Without some sort of
practice, without spotters
who have had the op-
portunity to have some
training, it becomes a
sort of joy ride,’ Nor-
dquist said.

In his airplane in the

air at about 1,000 feat
above where the
simulated crash site was
supposed to be, local pilot
Dave Lockhart said that
hormally when an air-
craft goes down it cuts a
swath in the trees and you
look for anything unysual
in the terrain. Lockhart,

' who, has spent many

hours involved in sear-
ches was just one of the
dozen pilots who used
their aircraft to take
spotters’ up for alook,at
the mock up of a crash
site. He noted that it
takes some. time for a
spotter to get used to how
things locked from the
air. He agreed that this
kind of exercise gives the
spotters time’in the alr.
and: some experience in
the techniques which
include viewing one
section of terrain at a
time instead. of scanning
an area, |

In .addition to ‘the
practical work, which
involved flying a search

two simulated crashes,

For the young and
middle-aged person, the
need for Home Care is
often not recognised, as
they frequently have
family at home who are
available to give
necessary care and
support throughout an

illness. A_ patient,
however, may be
discharged early from
hospital following

surgery if his dressing
changes and daily care
can be managed at home
by the family and a
visiting nurse. This
enables the patient to be
with his family in com-
fortable familiar
surroundings, and frees
the hospital bed for use
by more acutely ill
patients. The Home Care
nurse is frequently seen
in the role of a teacher to
instruct family members
in caring completly for
the patient at home.

jectives of the Home Care
Program are to ensure
