One of the most important of these is the stroke club, which is an integral part of the pro- gram. It meets one day each week, and the program has helped a great many people. All the activities are geared to keeping the seniors physically and mentally activated so that they may stay in their own homes as long as possible. Sixty seniors participate in the pro- gram. The average daily attendance is eighteen. Because a number of well elderly from Huronview participate in the Day Care Program, they get to know the people from the community, and when it has become necessary for one of them to become institutionalized, the transition has been incredibly easy.
