z <br />P R O C L A M A T I O N <br />The citizens of Orange County have benefited from the <br />advantages of home care for decades. As an alternative to <br />institutional care, home care fosters a sense of independence <br />and self- respect by affording patients the right to receive <br />services in the comfort of their homes, with the reassurance <br />and companionship of family and friends. <br />Through the dedication and caring of orange County home <br />care providers and caregivers, a wide variety of home care <br />services are available to our citizens. Home care allows <br />quality care to be brought to all those in need: the young <br />and old, indigent and wealthy, urban and rural. By caring <br />for the individual at home, home care not only strengthens <br />the family bond, but serves as a cost - effective method of <br />care by avoiding unnecessary institutional care. <br />Home care providers are recognized for their meaningful <br />work with our ill and disabled citizens. Through the special <br />relationships formed between patient and caregiver, a better <br />quality of life and sense of dignity are achieve by many <br />Orange County residents each year. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, the Orange County Board of Commissioners, do <br />hereby proclaim December 1, through December 7, 1991 as <br />"National Home Care Week" in Orange County and urge our <br />citizens to recognize the efforts of home care providers and <br />the families and friends of the elderly and disabled who <br />provide important services in the home. <br />IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I hereunto set my hands and affixed the <br />seal of Orange County, this Fourth Day of November, Nineteen <br />Hundred and Ninety -One. <br />Moses Carey, Jr.., Chair <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />
