Community Care is a success After only two months of operation Whitby Commun- ity Care is already making an impact according to a Regional 'Community Care Quarterly Report to the Min- istry of Community And Social Services. Forty-three elderly clients have registered for assis- tance and thirty-nine have already used the service.. Regional Co-ordinator Rlichard Johnston praised the Whitby Board for leading the way in attracting youth volunteers., Haîf of the seventy volunteers register- ed are teenagers. yolunteers have donated 327 hours of service to date, including financial counsel- ling, , home repairs and friendly visiting.

Community Care has re- ceived,$63,400 a year for two years from the Provincial Government with which to assist the.elderly to remain. in their own homes. Mr. .lohnston predicts that Coin- niunity Care will be able to prove itselft capable of doing just that and after one year not two. After 8 montha of service some 500 Community Care Volunteers are assisting over 530 seniors to remain in their own homes in Ajax- Pickering, Newcastle, Oshawa, Whitby, Brock and Scugog. Volunteers have logged 30,329 miles, accoin- plished 2,923 tasks and given 6,927 hours of service; "And we'r still only in second gear,", said Mr. Johnston, "Two of our six offices have only been operating for two montha and we have pro- vided more service in the last three months than we did in the first five. Just wait tili we have a full year under our belta. " The number of people on waiting liats for Homes for the Aged in the Region has actually dropped in the last few months. While he admits there, are many factors at play Johnston says that, "The Whitby Comnxunity Care Board and the other Community Care Boards have helped take some of the pressure off admissions."~ Mr. Johnston believes that the nature of Homes for thge Aged will change dramatic- ally in coming year. Today almost haîf of the beds in our Homes for the Aged are occupied by Normal Care residenta <people who need no medical care). With capi- tal costs of $26,000 a bed and operational costs of $5,840 a bed per year we cannot afford to accomnodate such a high 'proportion of normal care people in the future. By- comparison,-it is costing $120 per senior to help them stay in their own homes through Community Care. "Our present Homes wil have to be adapted physical- ly to concentrate more and more on bed care patients, as the aged population in- creases," Mr. Johnston said.
