During the summer months 253 elderly people were able to
benefit from a stay of two weeks in the country or at the seaside, in
holiday homes at which accommodation had been reserved by the
Council.
As before, the Council granted £770 to the voluntary
organisations providing meals and recreation for the aged of
Finsbury.
The Nurse/Visitor was available for consultation by the aged
persons about their various problems, and all those known to the
department were visited regularly during the year. Every effort was
made to give them help and encouragement in looking after
themselves.
