L’ORIGNAL | Every mayor in Prescott- Russell seems to want to have a counties’ seniors retirement home in their commu-
with recommendations, on future planning for La Residence retirement home facility it maintains as part of its social services pro- gram for the United Counties of Prescott- Russell (UCPR). Chief Administrative Officer Stéphane Parisien provided the council with a verbal preliminary summary of the situation, noting that a planning study is needed to determine where a future coun- ties retirement facility should go if a new one is built to replace the existing one or if the council decides that the counties’ social service program needs a second seniors home to handle the long waiting list for openings. “Can we try to determine how cost-ef- fective it might be to run two instead of one?” asked Gary Barton, Champlain Town- ship mayor. “People like to stay in their own community.” Several mayors on the coun- ties council suggested communities within their own municipalities that might be suit- able sites for either a new or secondary resi- dence. The mayors from Russell County pushed for having a facility to match the one al- ready operating in Hawkesbury in Prescott County and they received support from East Hawkesbury Mayor Robert Kirby. “I don’t think it’s fair that the West should subsidize a residence in the East if they don’t have access to it,” Kirby said. Russell Township Mayor Jean-Paul St-Pierre noted that private retirement homes also exist in the region. He said need should be the key factor that should determine where and if a second counties retirement residence is built. “That should be one of the consider- ations,” he said. “Who needs it most?” Mayor Barton agreed and added that the average age for a senior living in a re- tirement home in Prescott-Russell now is around 85. Parisien noted that some se- nior care facilities have to deal with special needs clients. The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) has suggested guidelines for senior care needs. Anyone who has to take eight or more pills a day as part of their medication regimen is considered someone “at risk” and should live close to a medical facility in case of emergency. Warden René Berthiau- me, Hawkesbury’s mayor, said the counties need a long-term strategy for its residence operations. He noted his own preference for Hawkesbury but stressed that any deci- sion must consider other factors.
