The comfort and well being of the clients comes first and foremost. An old Chinese saying opened the Guild meeting on Tues. Nov. 21.

The people involved in the Day Centre program are endlessly busy doing any and everything from crafts, sports, bingos, singsongs to organizing bowling outings. But the memory of the centre will forever be that of smiling faces. The day centre is not a part of Huronview but takes advantage of facilities there. The program was started to help get homebound people out and back into the swing of living. The only require- ment for members is that 'they be homebound due to age or disability. At the present, the program, under the guidance of Anne St. Jean of Auburn is full with 12 people enrolled daily. The Day centre in its first year of operation has illustrated a need for such a service in other parts of the county. It is one of 17 pilot projects across Ontario funded 80% by the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services. The other 20% comes from user fees, a $2 per day. The Centre is also funded by a New Horizons grant under the direction of a group of seniors "Active Seniors Helping the Homebound" from various parts of the county. AT HOME The idea behind people attending Day Care is to have them maintain their way of life at home rather than be institutionalized. "They get backed in by fear" said Mrs. Anne St. Jean. "Fear of being alone and no one to care often brings them." The program also provides relief for those taking tare of elderly or disabled or and who fear the day when they might not be there to help. "They get involved here and find that when they get home they have something to contribute to the family. Mrs. St. Jean said "They DAILY A short conference held at the beginning of each day as staff and volunteers go over the activities planned and any special needs of clients.

This is followed by some physical activity such as shuffle' board, darts or walking in the fresh air: There are two special days set aside in the week for a stroke club and a quiet day. ,The stroke club has evolved into quite an involved group who get together to help one another get over their problems. "We try to encourage regular attendance" said co- ordinator Anne St. Jean. "It is a support group" Mrs. St. Jean said. "They share problems and help each other get over them." The activities encompass therapy as well as crafts to help muscle strength, co-or- dination and range of• motion, The club is presently full but efforts are being made to have clubs in other areas set up.
