“It is always a wonderful gesture to spend quality time with the seniors, as they can help you get valuable knowledge about life,” David expressed.
As the sun set on a day filled with laughter and music, the residents of Reuven Retirement Village left with smiles and fond memories, reminding all that community and connection are vital at any age.
