DELEGATIONS
Mr. Tom Pearce, Executive Director, and Ms. Nancy Evans, Placement Co-Ordinator,
Community Care Access Centre (CCAC), attended at 9:10 AM. to update Council on the
admission process to Homes for Seniors. Mr. Pearce provided background information
and the mandate of the CCAC. Concerns were raised by Council, some of which were:
delays in placement in long-term care of persons currently in hospitals; County residents
bumped from placement in County Homes; placement of the mentally ill in Seniors'
Homes; and subsidized rates if residents cannot afford to pay. The CCAC explained that
they are working with the Hospital in an attempt to streamline the placement process.
Priority placement is looked at first and people on waiting lists from other areas may be
placed in a County Home before a County Resident depending on need. Mr. Pearce
advised that there is a "denial process" in the event a Home cannot accommodate the
care level that would be required by a Resident. Warden Rock thanked the members of
