Boston is a amazing city… it has great hospital care, great schools (great education).
Although it's a small area for a major city, it's very age friendly because it offers many things. For older persons mobility tends to be a problem. Driving may be difficult and Boston is not only walkable, they also offer great public transportation. Everything is just a short distance away and will be very accessible for older people. There's different communities for this group to engage in and healthcare aid throughout the city. There's many opportunities for older people in this city and because of this convenience the livability is optimal.
To me is a safe environment and a good place to work and live
I like take care old people
It's a good are for people that older everything is around the corner from each and it's easy access for them and us well it's faster for them to get to it then any where else!
The 8 Domains of Livability. Age Friendly Seattle focuses on eight domains of livability that cities can address to better serve the needs of older people.
Very walk friendly! Lots of parks for outside recreation.
Community engagement I'm the older brother too two younger brothers and I spent a lot of time watching them taking them out making sure the engaging with people in the community in a respectful manner and I feel like care really places a big part into that I feel like it's always been in me to look after the younger community n make sure they are doing the right thing
I would love to gain experience in working with elderly patients. I have assisted my father's care and loved it and would like to provide assistance and care to other elderly patients.
The traffic is bad
