 Make our elderly residents' day especially memorable with a performance. Lead a sing-along, play an instrument, dance, perform magic tricks, or show off another special talent. You're the star of the show and our residents are ready to be your audience!
Since many of our residents at Ruggles Assisted Living Community are disabled, they have difficulty attending performances in the community. In addition, our once-homeless residents cannot afford much of the high-priced entertainment offered in Boston. The elders at Ruggles love visitors and music of all kinds, so come on down and entertain our elders!
- A particular talent that you can show off to our elders
- A love for our senior citizen friends!
