We're excited to share a recent interview featuring our Executive Director Gary Dewhirst, published by The Fuller Depree Center. In this insightful conversation, Gary explains how Warm Beach Senior Community is taking an active, service-based approach to retirement that challenges conventional narratives about aging.
From organizing skydiving adventures to launching an intergenerational daycare center, Gary shares how our community encourages residents to see their retirement years as filled with purpose, belonging, and joy. He discusses why we believe the third third of life should be about mission and meaningful service, not just leisure.
The interview offers a compelling look at how Warm Beach is pioneering a faith-based model where residents make toys for children in need, pray for nations worldwide, and prove daily that purpose has no age limit.
