PAGE I4 TERRACE BAY NEWS NOVEMBER 28, I974 Homes for the Aged Meeting - continued The Constitution also required that the Ad- ministrator inform the Municipalities, by reg- istered mail, thirty days prior to the meet- ing. Regulations affecting the appointments by the Municipalities have not been announced to date. The Ministry has made provisions enabling Extended Care Residents to take vacations up to fourteen days, changing the previous lim- itation of seventy-two hours. Legislation has been approved whereby the Board of Manage- ment can establish Satellite Residential Care Homes, with up to twenty-five Residents. Th- ese would be similar to the Foster Care Homes where the limit was six Residents. The Board set their next regular meeting for December I4th at I0:00 a.m. at Pinewood. They will be reviewing Registered Nurses' rates and Heads for I974-75 and, Departmental Heads of Staff salaries for I975. Further, they will be reviewing preliminary budget es- timates for I975.
