P R O C L A M A T I ON <br />Orange County citizens of all ages and economic levels <br />are concerned about quality, affordable, long -term health <br />care. Furthermore, surveys show that people prefer to <br />receive medical care and support services in their own homes. <br />Home care allows our disabled and chronically ill <br />citizens to remain with their loved ones in surroundings that <br />are familiar and comfortable. With rising health -care costs, <br />home care offers a practical means of providing health care <br />and related services. <br />As our citizens require more in -home care, Orange <br />Countyls home care agencies are meeting that challenge. Home <br />care Agencies are providing services ranging from personal <br />care assistants to high -tech intravenous drug therapies. By <br />offering these services in the home, we can treat our <br />elderly, disabled and chronically ill population effectively <br />and comfortably. <br />NOW, THEREFORE,. the Orange'County Board of <br />Commissioners, do hereby proclaim November 25 through <br />December 1, 1990, as "Home Care Week" in Orange County and <br />urge our citizens to recognize the efforts of home care <br />providers and the families and friends of the elderly and <br />disabled who provide important services in the home. <br />IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I hereunto set my hands and affixed <br />the seal of Orange County, this Twentieth Day of November, <br />Nineteen Hundred and Ninety. <br />Moses Carey, Jr., Chair <br />Orange County Board of Co oners <br />
