can be fun this is fun says ashlee bur- ness of rr 4 stouffville as she pushes sister amy around the ice at the rec centre friday during an hourlong free skate sponsored by st james pre sbyterian church editors mail subsidy facts dear editor we have read with a great deal of interest the account in your jan 28 issue describing tie happy occasion at green gables manor when members of their over 90 club were honored by government andj municipal representatives we share with the community the good feelings that arise out of occasions when older persons who have contributed so much are honored it is the purpose of this letter to create awareness of the fact that mr haluszkas statement charitable institutions are paid 80 per day per resident certainly does not apply to parkview home for the aged currently parkviews actual cost per resident per day for persons on extended care is 5626 however government regualations limilj our approved revenues for standard accommodation to 4848 per dayt resident rather than 8000 as stated by mr haluszka approved revenues are a combination of resident fees and government subj sidies j the deficit incurred by the difference between 5225 and 4848 mus be met from any sources we can find in addition if the costs in charitable homes such as parkview can be brought below the 4848 level the subsidy is reduced to the actual cost this is consistent with the non profit concept and is in contrast with a flat rate paid privately operated nursing homes j we are in agreement with mr haluszka that extended care subi sidies frequently do not cover the cost of operation especially if a majority of our residents require heavy levels of care extended care subsidies begin at the 15 hours per day level of nursing care and are designed to cover costs up to the chronic care levels we trust this will help clarify for tribune readers the current facts related to costs in nursing homes and homes for the aged and the extent of financial assistance from the ontario government to persons in these institutions may i add that we at parkview are grateful for and appreciative of the excellent facilities and the quality care provided by green gables management and staff i know that the mutual objective of both green gables and parkvie is to bring comfort and security in an atmosphere of respect anu caring to older persons who have reached the stage in life where they require help for daily living needs sincerely jm nighswanderl parkview executive adminstrator- for the parkview board or directors clinique gift with any clinique purchase of 12 or more
