nice town
Bradford is changing and growing, trying to accommodate all of its citizens. There is something for all age groups. Haverhill is always trying to grow it's downtown, encouraging restaurant participation. There are many elderly housing sites with activities and transportation. The Haverhill Council on Aging offers many activities throughout the year.
General livability, transportation, community engagement, activities, assisted living and day centers for the elderly.
No information specifically related to "age friendly" in town where I live.
Very nice community, quiet neighborhood and beautiful streets
