Karen Metler is a recreationist with the Halton VON Seniors Day Program. In October 1992, the Seniors Day Program received funding from the United Way of Oakville enabling the centre to expand and better meet caregiver respite needs in Halton Region. The program‘s capacity increased by 100% to 20 clients per day. In the past, George was only able to attend the program one day a week. He is now able to participate up to four days weekly. This allows for the necessary structure and continuity in George‘s lifestyle and means that his famâ€" ily can utilize other inâ€"home respite services on the days he does not attend. United Way support has allowed individuals like George and his family to mainâ€" tain their quality of life in the community. as well as much needed respite care for his family. George lives in Oakville with his son and daughterâ€"inâ€" law. George‘s family feels comfortable sending him to the Seniors Day Program, as they know he receives a high level of supervision and assistance from the staff and volunteers.
