"WHEREAS home support is a vital part of our health care system that allows
seniors, people with disabilities or people with chronic health
conditions to live independently and with dignity; and
WHEREAS home support has been found to be the most cost-effective program
by treating health problems in the home before they develop into
chronic health crises requiring hospitalization; and
WHEREAS home support promotes healthy living by addressing nutrition and
meal preparation, hygiene, grooming, and socialization; and
WHEREAS access to home support has decreased dramatically in the last few
years and more generally since 1994, despite an aging population in
BC; and
WHEREAS we are concerned that the significant cuts to hospital and residential
care beds, combined with reduced access to home support, have
resulted in a larger burden for home support to address acute needs
for fewer patients; and
WHEREAS reduced access to and quality of home support adversely affect the
most economically and physically vulnerable populations - namely
seniors, particularly women, living alone and on low incomes;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Surrey recognizes and affirms:
that home support is essential to an efficient and sustainable health care
system,
that home support is fitting with our municipality's image of promoting
healthy lifestyles and holistic health,
that home support is an effective solution to health issues related to our
municipality and province's growing senior population,
that access to home support is equivalent to the right of all individuals to
live independently and with dignity; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the City of Surrey call upon the Province
of British Columbia:
to halt further cutbacks and restore home support to 1994 service levels,
to ensure that home support is a universal program by eliminating user
fees and stemming privatization,
to overcome staff shortages by improving and standardizing training,
implementing competitive wage scales for workers, and developing an
active recruitment program for home support workers, including new
workers from aboriginal and ethno cultural communities, and
to create an appeal board for people to dispute their home support
assessment that is both impartial and representative of seniors and people
with disabilities."
