The care and compassion which seems to be a core value of this community.
This community is age friendly, I see a lot of elderly. The neighborhood has changed. When I first moved here it was quiet. Now it's very noisy, you have a lot of homeless around. I will say it is close to buses, and shopping places.
This area has stayed nice longer than expectations. The grade school was award winning school. Cal State is down the street. There is medical within a mile to seven miles. Bus stop is close. Community involvement is improving.
I live in a neighborhood were there is no compassion everyone is looking out only for themselves I fill that the elderly should associat with people who genuinely care and is concerned with their well being
Im currently employed at IHSS and Walmart however would love to for full time as a caregiver I have 4 years experience cooking cleaning assisting with showers dressing driving to and from appointments and much more
