In addition, the municipality offers a variety of services to senior citizens, including enrichment activities at centers, volunteer programs for seniors, and a senior daycare center for single senior citizens who have difficulties in functioning independently.   In addition, the employment center for seniors is one of a few of its kind in Israel in which senior citizens are employed, earn a salary and enjoy being active and independent.

 

Special projects have been developed by the municipality for the city's mentally challenged population, and it has received a special award for excellence from the Shalem Foundation for this effort.
