E THE PROBLEM

The Citizens

Committse here represented, upon

fy “lreid +3 look into the

manner in which Personal Home Care 1s to be provided

tn Port Coquitiam's new Personal Care Home "Hawthorne

Specifically, the concern is that services which were once reported would cost 3175/person/montih now appear to cost $305/person/month for semi-private accomodation--a rate clearly beyond the means of most peosle in this community.

The personal pollosophy of those who endorse this brief is that care ani attention to citizens ‘ho ean no longer maintain independence is a health matter. as such the comrunity should, if not entirely subsidize the provisicn of such services, at least insure that

no pYofit is generated therefrom.
