Health Access Home and Nursing Care

"Home is where one starts from." -T. S. Eliot.

Home is our starting point. Most of our first experiences happen at home. First laugh. First steps. First words. In our homes we build relationships and skills that will deeply affect us for the rest of our lives. Home is the beginning; it is where we start. "There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort." - Jane Austen. When you are tired, run-down, sad, lonely or sick… is there anything better than staying at home? There is something about the walls of your own home; they seem to just reach down and give you a big hug, and tell you that everything is going to be all right.

“Home is where the heart is.” This all may sound corny or like old clichés but are they not true? It is not surprising then that moving from what we have thought of as home for 40 years, is often very difficult to even contemplate let alone really do.

We at Health Access Home and Nursing Care have been providing home care for thousands of people for the past 17 years. We have worked with people who, with some support, have been able to stay home safely and happily in their own environment. Because we have witnessed so many great stories and seen how much better the quality of life for seniors can be if they are supported in their homes, I was surprised reading the article in the Gazette earlier this month saying “province pushes to move seniors out of hospital” The plan is, as the article outlined, to inject $16 million for homecare and support in the homes.

How can that be a bad move? The slant in the article was not about the

www.mtltimes.ca

seniors at all. It was to free up beds. Most people I have worked with over the years have desperately wanted to go home.

So often they have been told “you cannot go home” and have had to spend many days, weeks and even months sitting

By Donna Byrne mtltimes.ca

in a chair, often restrained, waiting for the next meal.

With proper support in the home many do not have to be there to wait for another residence… .They can stay there. If even one half of the $984 for each day in hospital was spent on home support, frail patients could be at home. For many seniors help can be provided for as little as $60.00-$120.00 per day.

More often, people can stay home with support costing as little as $200.00/ week and less if the need is to assess and follow without a lot of physical care needs. To me, it is a no brainer. Let me stay home! The longer we keep people in the hospital the faster they lose many abilities to function independently.

Hospitals are confusing places to be even for the young and strong. Nights turn to days and bells ring, machines beep and people walk into your room at all hours.Who wouldn’t be confused?

If there is a real move toward better funding and coordination of home

care why can’t this be an option? If the province just uses the plan to save money and cut funding, I understand the concern.

As we age though there may have to be some planning for extra care and help around the house. Some of the cost for these additional needs usually have to be absorbed by the family or the senior themselves.

Families may help with some of the difficult tasks for their parents or hire people to do so. I think it is unrealistic to think that the “Government will look after us for all of our care”. However if they do inject funds and eliminate the waiting list and provide a reasonable amount of hours of care for those going home, it can work to supplement what the families have to do.

The plan for discharge from the hospital has to start the day of admission so that the eight hospital days can be used to assess needs prior to a last minute panic. As seniors age this can be an ongoing process. It should not be a surprise that certain adjustments need to be made in the home. I know that changes may not be easy but the alternative is worse. The access to care and follow up using technology is far behind in Quebec. The remote teaching and monitoring used in our studies with McGill clearly demonstrated that we can keep costs down and provide better care helping people manage their health, if only there was the will to do so. The need for changes to our health care/ sick care system is now! The years of “same old, same old” has resulted in the desperate situation we find ourselves in today.

What Montreal can expect from the CAQ government

A

t first glance one may be tempted to anticipate little action on the part of the new provincial government regarding Montreal: the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) only elected two MNAs in the whole island. As expected, the Liberals dominated the region with Québec solidaire (QS) getting six

ridings, and the PQ being completely wiped out. In other words, Montrealers were on the losing side and –despite the goodwill words by the victor the night of the election– politics, being what it is, Montreal as a region might end up low in the priorities of the new administration.

However –not to be negative from the start– it

is important to remember that during the campaign, François Legault and his party made important promises to Montrealers on subjects that are very dear to people in the whole area, not only the city itself.

Public transit, certainly one of the priorities for Montrealers, was an issue on which during the campaign the CAQ put great emphasis: the party supported the REM, and even though trains won't be running until 2022, the CAQ already had promised to expand it. In its platform, the party didn't indicate where this expansion will be located, other than in the north and south of the current design. In its platform the CAQ had also mentioned the building of two tramway lines, one on Notre Dame St. East connecting it to the Place d'Armes metro. An alternative route would split toward the north at the Radisson station to communicate with the future Anjou station of the Blue Line. The other tramway line would run along the Taschereau Boulevard in the south shore.

The metro should also get expanded, particularly the Blue Line (whose extension has been promised for a long time now) and the Yellow Line (also

promised before in many previous campaigns, by various parties), although this wouldn't be an underground line but an LRT or long tramway running at street level. However, the Pink Line, championed by our Mayor Valerie Plante, is not on the CAQ list.

Besides these more spectacular –and costly– projects, during the campaign, the CAQ also made some more modest promises on the subject, such as improving the train and bus schedules, i.e., make the damn things run on time!

(Any resemblance to Mussolini's claim that he

made trains run on time during his government is just an unintended coincidence).

Concerning infrastructure, the CAQ supports the extension of Highway 19 to Bois-des-Filions, a project already approved by the outgoing government, and the expansion of Highway 13 to connect to Hwy 50. The new government would also expand Highway 30. These investments on highways

may indicate that although the CAQ is somehow joining the current trend to promote public transportation, based on wellknown environmental and practical considerations, it is not turning its back on those who privilege the private car as their means of transportation.

A controversial issue is, of course, that of immigration: the CAQ has promised to reduce the number of immigrants per

Free Report Reveals How to Avoid Getting Stuck Owning Two Homes

MONTREAL - West Island - Every month, thousands of homeowners are faced with the stressful dilemma of whether to buy first or sell first.You see, if you buy before selling, you could run the risk of owning two homes. Or, just as bad, if you sell first, you could end up homeless. It's what insiders in the industry call the Real Estate Catch 22, and it's an extremely anxious position to find yourself in.

This financial and emotional tightrope is one you usually have to walk alone because most agents have no way of helping you with this predicament. But one local realtor is using a unique Guaranteed Sale Program which solves this dilemma. This program guarantees the sale of your present home before you take possession of your new one. If your home doesn't sell in 120 days, they will buy it from you themselves for the previously agreed price ensuring that you never get caught in the Real Estate • October 6, 2018

year from 50 thousand to 40 thousand. This proposal would undoubtedly unleash heated debates in the whole Montreal region, the preferred destination of most immigrants coming to the province. It could also have a significant and negative impact on the economic performance of the area since immigrants are a vital source of human resources in some local industries.

Catch 22. Before you hire any professional, you should research the market to find out who can do the best job for you. When interviewing agents, find out what kind of guarantee they are willing to give you with respect to the selling of your home. Unfortunately, you'll find that most agents simply cannot make such a guarantee.

To help you learn more about this program and how it can make your move less stressful, a FREE special report has been prepared entitled "How to Avoid Getting Stuck with Two Homes".

In addition, La Ronde is looking for six daring people to take part in the 30 hour Coffin Challenge.

The Evil Circus 3D is one of the newest and most terrifying experiences offered at Fright Fest this year. It may look like a playful circus but inside the glowing hallways, the carnival games have turned terribly twisted.

Equipped with 3D glasses, visitors will encounter nearly 12 sinister clowns with creepy smirks and evil mind tricks. To make your journey even more disorienting, the terror comes to life with eyepopping 3D visuals and demented illusions.

Other scary attractions to discover at the Festival include the The Trap of Terror. This new scare zone will plunge visitors

into a dark, smoky and gloomy place where they will find themselves surrounded by a group of threatening masked thugs.

At dusk, La Ronde will turn into a real cemetery with several creatures emerging from the darkness, including newcomers: Roaming Souls and Firecrackers. Every night at 5:30 pm these frightening characters will invade the park accompanied by their accomplices, the zombies, the vampires, the famous Chainsaw Guys

and other evil characters, in search of their next prey.

For Thrills by Day, kids and families can enjoy the fun of Fright Fest during our daytime celebration and experience the park’s Halloween themed shows: Monsters Moches and les Citrouilles.

Throughout the daylight hours, kids will be safest in Pays de Rimbambelle, where there are a dozen pint-sized attractions designed just for them and not a fright in sight. Be

L

ast autumn the City of Montreal announced it was partnering with Waze, a 'community-based traffic and navigation app' aimed at helping drivers avoid traffic by displaying road conditions in real-time and helping them find the fastest route to their destination.

The partnership's goal was to help drivers navigate the tsunami of road work and detours plaguing the city. All 19 boroughs were partnered with Waze and any road construction project posted on the city’s InfoTravaux page would be posted on the app, including Transport Quebec updates on all major traffic issues due to construction - especially the work around the Turcot Interchange revamp and construction of the new Champlain Bridge. But now that it is in action, is it really working for drivers?

With all the other infrastructure work going on in Montreal, including the tearing up of Ste. Catherine street from Bleury to Atwater over a 2-3 year period, one would hope it truly does help ease the pain.

In general, the majority of reviews on several Canadian websites and forums for the Waze app, were quite positive - although there is no other city with Montreal's unique and extreme traffic conditions. Many users found it extremely helpful, very reliable and often better than Google Maps for mobile users - which is interesting enough, since Google bought Waze in 2013. Waze even supplies some data on collisions or slow-downs directly onto Google Maps. Another little tidbit many people might not be aware of is the app was first developed by Waze Mobile, an Israeli company.

Positive reviews ranged from 'Highly accurate and informative' to 'Haven't experienced any issues with it whatsoever'. Just recently, during another weekend of major road and highway closures, several drivers weighed in on their experience using Waze - especially drivers from the West Island area having to head east to get to their destinations. Most of the drivers were very happy with the results with the app constantly collecting data, it adapted

quickly and provided the fastest route possible.

But there were a few people who said it proved to be unreliable. One user claimed the app directed her to make a left turn at a busy intersection, where it was not allowed. Another user said the app had him heading down a one-way street, the wrong

By Bonnie Wurst mtltimes.ca

way.And it wasn't the only complaint.

A visitor from Toronto claimed the app took him and his family 'on a wild goose chase' trying to get into the downtown area.

He said the app directed them one way, but the detour signs on the roads directed them another. It got to the point that they found themselves heading back east, until a Good

Samaritan kindly helped them navigate their way. It brings up the question again if Waze is reliable enough for Montreal's orange-cone woes. One needs to pay careful attention to the actual, physical detour signs, which in our city can quickly override any app available.

There is one complaint both sides seem to agree on, but don't consider a real deterrent, is their cellphone battery being drained far too quickly as the app still sends data to Waze, even when it’s not navigating the roads.

But that could easily be resolved by having your cellphone charger on hand.

For those not familiar with Waze, it is really quite simple to understand and use. The app consistently recommends the fastest routes, based on real-time driving data.

You enter your destination address and just drive

with the app open on your cellphone (which at the same time sends Waze traffic and other road data) and you can also choose to take 'a more active role by sharing road reports on accidents, police traps, or any other hazards along the way, helping to give other users in the area a 'headsup' about what's to come'.

Waze also collects data from groups of online map editors who ensure the data in their area is as up-to-date as possible.

With over 90 million users worldwide to date, it is becoming the 'go to' option for drivers to navigate the roads. And if it can actually take on Montreal roads and traffic with real-time accuracy and reliability, it would be very impressive.

Would you consider using Waze? If you have used or are already using Waze - how is it working for you? Please let us know!

T

Tish (Kiki Layne) and Fonny (Stephan James) fall in love, but they have to confront many obstacles

he 47th edition of the Festival of New Cinema is underway, this event, originally conceived as a forum for alternative movies and daring directors who would challenge moviemaking conventions, is now expanding into more global scope, and it has even introduced a section for young audiences. The FNC seems to enjoy much better funding now: would that mean that it is becoming more mainstream? Well, not really.

Probably what also happens is that movies, and especially some subjects that used to be off-limits for many film producers, have now become more readily accepted by regular audiences, some sexrelated topics, explicit violence, may be mentioned as examples. On the formal front too, movies have evolved, and people have become more used to narratives that defy convention and even logic.

Having said that, the FNC is still very much a place where you could find some "weird" films.

The Temps Ø section, characterized as "the wild bunch: bold cinematic rebels and adventurous films" is devoted to the kind of movies that are supposed to disturb some people somehow. "Abnormal family" by Masayuki Suo (Japan), "Balangiga: Howling Wilderness" by Khavn (Philippines), "The

Why West Island businesses should jump aboard the digital transformation train

F

rom the local pizzeria and corner store to large urban retail chains and manufacturers, every business is feeling the impact of technological advancement in a radically changing world.

Digital transformation is ushering in big changes to the modern workplace, forcing a total rethink of how things get done. It’s not just about automating and supporting traditional processes; it’s about creating whole new ways of communicating and collaborating, storing and sharing data, and embracing and implementing new technologies.

Businesses that don’t take the necessary steps to keep up are in danger of losing out to those that have already made the move.

Let’s face it, these days, if someone can’t order lunch from their favourite place with one click on an app, they likely to go to somewhere else that lets them do so -- and quickly.

With so much on the line, it’s important to get started on a digital transformation journey. But where do you start?

Hugues Bélanger, Strategic Partnerships, Director

at TELUS, offers his expertise and how TELUS, thanks to the power of its network, is ahead of the game.

1. Businesses need a fullservice wired and wireless network.

Combining the two into one solution makes it possible to provide a fully resilient solution, without the burden of a second physical connection obsolete, says Mr Belanger. Saving money and boosting efficiency in a in a world where agility and customization are the name of the game is paramount for businesses of all sizes.

2. Put your business in the cloud.

“Cloud-based services offer full security and connectivity for just about every type of business,” says Belanger. “ It makes it possible for smaller businesses, in particular, to streamline the need for inhouse servers and hardto-find IT staff.”

An important aspect of cloud-based applications is reliability. If you run your point-of-sales or accounting software from a cloudbased server, businesses need to make sure they are always connected to prevent costly downtime.

3. A fastest and reliable net-

work is key Since more and more services are delivered directly from the cloud, it’s very important to get adequate network speed so the performance of the cloud-based applications are not impacted. It’s why so many Canadian businesses are turning to a new generation of cloudbased network technology for the solution, known as SD-WAN (short for Soft-

ware-Defined Wide Area Network).

SD-WAN is much simpler than the traditional “hub-and-spoke” technology and much easier and less costly for businesses to set up, maintain and expand.

TELUS is the first Canadian service provider to offer its own SD-WAN solution into the market under the name TELUS Network as a Service, or

TELUS NaaS. This model put the network in the cloud and keeps costs down by offering a subscription-based approach to scale.

“The network you operate on is the beating heart of your business. It’s a service that is becoming as instrumental as having a good accountant” says Bélanger.

By using the proper tools, West Island

businesses will improve their bottom lines by reducing costs and inefficiencies while growing their market. It also allows for more customization, providing a more satisfying customer experience.

So what are you waiting for? TELUS is here to help you harness innovation and ensure your business stays ahead of the competition now and for years to come.

n August 26th at Aréna du Collège NotreDame, the Ligue Fédérale des As held its annual 2018 Final Championship Summer Game, once again in support of the Sun Youth Organization. This time around the money raised would be directed towards Sun Youth's SLAP Hockey Development Program.

Thanks to everyone's involvement, close to $6,000 were raised for the SLAP Program, allowing the organization to do even more for the hundred underprivileged children benefitting from this program on an annual basis.

Hockey was one of the first team sports organized by Sun Youth. Still today, this passion is part of the organization's Sports & Recreation programs such as the SLAP Hockey program. SLAP program was established in 2005 through the collaboration of Park-Extension Youth Organization (PEYO), the Quebec Avalanche Hockey Club and Sun Youth Organization.

Its mission is to introduce children, aged between 5 and 13 years old and from low income families, to the fundamentals of the sport that would otherwise be inaccessible to them.The participants are

ast week I spent a full morning tasting some 36 wines from South Africa. The tasting was organized by the AQAVBS in collaboration with the organism Wines of South Africa ( WOSA). My experience with South African wines is quite limited so this event was a fantastic chance to taste new labels and refresh on new vintages of previously known wines.

By Marco Giovanetti mtltimes.ca

With an wine history of about 350 years, the country now offers a good and interesting selection of wines, from whites to reds, from sparkling to fortified wines. With a new historical tradition of about 350 years, in South Africa wine was made before they started making it in California and in Australia, the country is now the eight wine producer of the world. The country has around 96,000 ha of vines , employing 290,000 employees and contributing a healthy $2.9 bn to the country’s economy.

The roots of the South African wine industry go back to the exploration of

• October 6, 2018

the Dutch East India Company when an station was established in Cape Town. Cape Town was then only a stop for ships and crew to pick up fresh produce during their journey along the spice route to India. Jan van Riebeeck was given the task to administer the station and grow grapes to produce wine; with the misbelief that drinking the wine created from them would prevent scurvy and other diseases between sailors during their long voyages. In 1659 the first South African wine made from French Muscadel grapes were successfully made.

The hub of wine production in South Africa is located in the so called “Cape”, in the southern part of the country, near Cape Town and Cape of Good Hope. The most important wine areas are without doubt Paarl and Stellenbosch, where most of the wine production takes place.The climate of the area benefits by the closeness of both the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean.

South Africa's most famous grapes are Chenin Blanc for white wine and Pinotage for reds. - South African Chenins are a different universe from those found in the Loire Valley - dry but ripe and full of flavour (often with a marked complexity that comes from the increasingly sought-after old-vine fruit). Pinotage, a South African curiosity, is for many wine drinkers a love-it-or-hate-it grape. I happen to like it; some of my wine buddies claim they do not, despite many

of them voting in blind tastings.Pinotage 'parents' are Pinot Noir, which imparts its strawberry aromas and lovely texture in young wines, and more complex, farmyard characteristics in more mature examples, and cinsault, the southern French grape, which adds spice and body. It was developed in South Africa in 1926.

More important in South Africa than much of the New World (in particular New Zealand and Chile) are blends, which make selection more difficult, as the style of the wine is unpredictable. As in Australia and California, however, many of the best wines South African are blends - a sign of maturity in the industry.

How can I deal with a work-related soft tissue injury?

• See your doctor about getting time off, "light duty".

• Go to a specialist (osteopathic doctor, naturopathic doctor, massage therapist).

• Take your breaks, walk at lunch and/or do exercises on the job (eg. shoulder rolls, stretching).

Osteopathic Treatment is the best solution for to decrease your discomfort and pain. Dr. Kruglov is using advance manual techniques, therapeutic laser, naturopathic formulas to increase vital force in order to help the body heal itself faster.

Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating injury to the body in it's various forms, whether it be through physical trauma (i.e. whiplash, traumatic birth for mother and baby), repetitive strain, 'overuse' i.e. sports injury) or just the knocks and bumps that we collect through life.

ore shoulder, aching arms, legs or feet, back pain. These aches and pains aren't just the result of getting older or being out of shape. They are often related to our work, especially for women.

In 2007, "strains and sprains" accounted for 50 percent of all injuries reported to Canadian workers' compensation boards. More women than men report these soft tissue injuries as a result of their work. For example: • Health care workers get bad backs.

• Sewing machine operators have shoulder and neck problems.

• Bank tellers and cashiers standing on the job get leg or foot injuries.

• Computer users get hand, wrist, neck and shoulder problems.

These injuries usually sneak up on us. Women often get on with their jobs, trying to "work through" the pain or ignore night time tingling in their hands. But the injuries can become very painful and, sometimes permanent, disabilities.

Depending on what is injured, other tissues can be affected. Work and other activities may be difficult: women may not be able to brush their teeth, hold their children, open doors, prepare food or carry groceries.

Stretch for improved fitness and alleviation of some causes of pain and discomfort. As with all forms of exercise, some exercises may be appropriate for some people and not others. Stretching must be progressive in nature and also requires patience and consistency in order to realize positive results.

While it’s true that some people seem to have an easier time developing flexibility, everyone can improve.

People use stretching exercises to improve their ability in sports (obvious with events such as Artistic Gymnastics), and stretching is equally important in nearly every type of sport. Stretching develops better joint range of motion and mobility, as well as facilitating recovery. Although stretching itself is not a great warm-up method, better flexibility is one way to reduce the likelihood of (some types) injury during physical activity.

Recreational “athletes” as well as people pursuing a fitness program can benefit from improved flexibility as much as competitive athletes. Although everyone has essentially the same skeleton and muscle groups, stretching exercise must match, needs and ability. Choosing the best exercises for “you” is a

very individual process and having professional guidance from a Certified Professional Fitness Coach (keep in mind that not all qualifications as equivalent) is a great starting point.

Guesswork when it comes to exercise is not often a great path to follow.

In general if you select a few exercises to follow and perform the exercises below a pain threshold, sustaining the “stretch” for anywhere between 10 & 60 seconds, repeating the exercise as necessary to the point where you feel a sense of release and relaxation, you’re on the right path. Breathing sequence is a very important point to be aware of during stretching. Holding your breath as you attempt to stretch is counter productive, whereas exhaling as you allow your body to release during a stretch, enhance your state of relaxation.

Movements should “flow” and avoid bouncing as you stretch as this can cause unnecessary micro tearing of connective tissues.

Consider joining a stretching class and make stretching a part of your everyday routine.

Crazy For Calendula

By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca

e have 7 handmade products containing calendula because we love it so much.

Calendula: marigold, the ‘herb’ of the sun.

The Romans apparently named calendula in the 12th century observing that the flower bloomed on first day of each month (calends). This lovely yellow/orange blossom was a symbol of happiness and used regularly in cooking and healing medicines. Full of antioxidants, this flower contains the miracle antiinflammatory, antibacterial healing properties we so desire.

Why we add calendula to our skin care products Baby salve: Calendula is renowned for soothing diaper rash. How sweet

www.mtltimes.ca

is that! (beware of commercial baby calendula creams that most likely contain way too much formaldehyde. Baby may love the marigold aspect, but may react to the formaldehyde, 3 face creams (Argan, Tamanu and Skin Care Moisturizer) Calendula is excellent in reducing dryness, chapped skin, soreness Nori Neem Soap: Calendula accents this soap for its natural anti fungal and anti bacterial properties.

Gardeners, athletes, people who seek an exfoliating soap love ours.

Calendula is one of the hidden treasures.

X cream: A best seller.

Perhaps it is the calendula that soared it to success. Calendula is only one of carefully chosen ingredients to help with that particular SPOT or AREA that ignites a ‘skin problem’. Testimonials confirm our X cream for eczema, psoriasis, red-

ness, and itchiness. Even on eyelids that are driving you crazy.

Moisturizing Lotion: if you want to treat the entire body, calendula needs to be a part of the team.

Next time you see a marigold, silently thank it, not only for its calming beauty, but also for its donation to keeping our skin alive and healthy.

We stand behind our products. We give great customer service. Visit our online store: natural.ca. Subscribe to our newsletter. Check out our BIOS.
