Lots of help for elders. Traffic is insane though.
All the abive
A very friendly place to live. Seniors working at many jobs.
Work is available for older adults. You are never too old to go back to school if you want to go. Types of transportation are numerous. We have the bus line. SCAT pickup, lyft, or taxi. There is always something going on in the community such as arts and craft shows, festivals of all kinds. There is also happenings at the Van Wezel. shops and buildings are also built with the wheelchair or walker people in mind. The weather is great 99 percent of the time, no snow to shovel here! I am an older citizen as well so all of the above mentioned are important to me so I would think they would be important to everyone else.
Nice living in a 55 and up community
