EH? it's simply common sense
Welcome to our website where we try and look at things sensibly, which means we will usually be at odds with the established order. As a result this website is not going to be popular with big government and well paid bureaucrats, the empire builders who live and work in a comfortable cocoon while the most vulnerable members of society struggle to survive. Simple things that may seem insignificant to most people are critically important to the health and well-being of our less fortunate citizens.
If you use the CCAC services you have a story to tell, what is it?
We had a visit from three people from the CCAC system, our very understanding caseworker who recommended direct funding and two management people.
In preparation for this meeting we documented our personal care needs in detail, we need 30 hours/week assistance excluding assistance with shopping and meal preparation which is provided by friends and people from the church.
Here is our story, tell us yours.
Christine and I were living in an assisted living unit in Orillia where I was receiving 10.5 hours care per week and she was receiving 14 hours care per week as she battled cancer. We both are living with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and our move to Cobourg in July 2007 was the direct result of our search for accessible housing, something that was made possible through the diligent commitment of our friends and finding a compliant builder in Mark Rollins at Ryerson Commons.
Which brings us to the topic of healthcare service cuts in Ontario. From a purely financial point of view service reductions are understandable, we are struggling with a bad economy which means there is less money to go round and we all need to share the pain. It might make sound financial sense and is something everyone can understand, but is healthcare not about people?
