THE PROGRAM INCORPORATES EDUCATION, ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN GROUP ACTIVITIES, AND HANDS-ON LEARNING. THE "MILAN," WHICH TRANSLATES AS "GATHERING- OR "GET-TOGETHER," IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO ASSIST SENIORS IN OVERCOMING THE SOCIAL ISOLATION THAT THEY OFTEN EXPERIENCE AFTER MOVING TO THE UNITED STATES.

THE MILAN IS FOLLOWED EACH DAY BY THE GOLDEN DINERS LUNCH, WHICH PROVIDES SENIORS WITH HOT, ETHNIC LUNCHES COOKED ON PREMISES FIVE DAYS A WEEK.
