Mrs. Gay added that increasing numbers of the elderly and new Medicaid restrictions could increase the demand for home health care. Dr. Roycroft said there is no need for additional health aides or skilled nursing services to the homebound elderly and that her agency has the situation under control for the present and foreseeable future.
She said that while PSOV's employees are trained to provide home health aide services, "There's no need to offer the home health aide service if they are extending themselves to the very population we are currently serving. We are both tax supported agencies and we should not be in competition. The health department is 8 health agency, Piedmont Seniors not. Dr. Roycroft added that her department had no waiting list for home health services and it has never turned down anyone who required the service.

Being able to keep people at home, provided their health doesn't suffer, is good and certainly less expensive." 'Nobody wants she continued, "but all of us want to make sure services are provided on a cost effective and humane basis." Miss Terry added that PSOV has access to funds for home health services, from the Older Americans Act, to which the health department has no access.

I wouldn't want to see any duplication without need. The impression I get from the health department is they felt they could handle the services." Mrs. King sald her agency has had no problem with the health department accepting referrals and that people needing the service seem to be receiving it. "When I think of health services," she said.
"I think of the health department. If they can meet the need, they should do it."
