Introduced by Rotarian George Lawrence, Mrs. Coates, gave a very informative and interesting talk on Fairview Lodge. It was learned that Fairview Lodge is the most modern home of its kind in the province of Ontario. The cost is shared equally between the County of Ontario and the provincial gov- ernment. The home will house 200 resi- dents and serves both Oshawa and Ontario County. Twelve consecutive months resi- dence in either of these places is required to be eligible for admit- tance to the home. Seventy - five beds are allocated for the use of Oshawa residents, one hundred and twenty-five are reserved for county requirements. Payment is determined by the financial status of the individual, old age pensioners who have no other means, receive $5 per month from their pension cheque for pock- et money if they are capable of handling money. The balance of their pension is used to partially pay for their maintenance. re is no distinction made be- tween those who pay the full cost and those unable to pay, everyone is treated equally well, asserted the speaker. In the case of married couples,' there are ap nts where mother and dad can continue to live together provided they able to care for each other. find they are much happier this wa said Mrs. Coates. e staff numbers 38 who care for the needs of the 202 in resi- dence, a ratio which compares very favourably with any similar institution such as a general hos- pital. Comfortable sitting rooms are provided with a television set. A | pool table has been donated and the \more active gentlemen enjoy the | game very much. Entertainment is provided by outside groups and service clubs. Mrs. Coates said, a large number offered to help at Christmas time, I have managed to persuade these groups to spread ir activities over a larger portion of the year which gives our people something to look forward to. Rotarian Don Kemp thanked the speaker on behalf of Rotary and announced his intention of takin, advantage of the invitation extend- ed by Mrs. Coates to all those as- sembled to visit Fairview Lodge and see for themselves the accom- modation provided.
