On Jan, 1 of this year, the provincial government intro- duced the Long Term Care Program.

When a person can no longer stay in their own home satisfactorily, they have the chance to move into an inter- mediate and or extended care facility. Hopefully, the facility can be situated in their own community so they are. not removed from the most impor- tant aspect of their lives— family and friends, : Spokesman for the Hal- cyon Home Society Shirley Morehouse, stated that pro- gress is slow and many ‘people must feel that the chances of getting a care facility are minimal.
