RIO GRANDE - Now 23 years old, the non-profit Jersey Cape Visiting Homemaker Service is dedicated to helping families keep the home together. One of 12 county organizations supported by the United Way of Cape May County, the Homemaker Service is geared toward assisting families when illness or other troubles disrupt the

home.

"WE ARE HERE to help maintain a healthy family life, preserve the family unit and keep up morale during periods of crisis,” said M. Ann Magee, director of the service. “Our service is availably to convalescing adults or the elderly in need of part-time assistance.” The service provides

mark the first time t summer phase will t in the county. y THE VISWING Homemaker/Service was incorporated in May, 1959, and service Was given on a small basis in the Cape May atea from homes of the directors and at a desk in a Cape May department store. After several moves to offices throughout the county, the agency grew and the freeholders provided space in the present facility in the Social Services building at Rts. 9 and 47

here.

As programs such as Medicare and Medicaid were established, the agency increased staff and capabilities to provide care for clients covered by these programs. In' 1979 a separate agency in Ocean City disbanded and Jersey Cape expanded its services to cover clients in that city, it now covers all 16 Cape May County municipalities. Two years later the Cape May County Welfare discontinued home services to clients covered by Title 20 and the Jersey Cape 1 Visiting

Homemakers again expanded their services for

these clients.

AT THE PRESENT the agency has contracts to provide service through Medicare, Medicaid, Title 20, Title III of the older Xmerican Act, Division of Youth and Family Services and Department of Mental Retardation. Services also may be obtained for payment of fee on a sliding scale basis according to the family's ability to pay. The agency employs a staff of 65 HomemakerHome Health Aides, a full time supervisor, a full time care coordinator, bookkeeper, clerk and executive director. The agency is governed by a volunteer board of directors and is a member of the Home Care Council of New Jersey which recommends and monitors training certification of aides and keeps the agencies abreast of new trends in home care. Last year the Visiting Homemaker Service served 608 clients for a total of 50,400 hours. Its aides traveled almost 200.000 miles in the county.
