The Altersheim Retirement Village in Otjiwarongo is encouraging family and friends of its residents to visit them as often as possible.

The Retirement Village cares for elderly residents and assists them with all their needs.

The elders are kept busy in an artistic way, usually sitting near the fish pond and painting.

They also do gardening, attend church services, and read books in the hallway.

However, the attention and care that elders receive at retirement villages cannot be compared to that which can be offered by their family members. 

It is important for people in retirement villages to know that the world has not forgotten about them.
