The environment is quiet and there's a lot of parks and places to go take nature walks in the afternoons when the weather is nice

I've seen many elderly residents live peaceful lives in Quincy. There are some issues in accessibility, in my opinion (e.g. lack of elevators/ramps), but generally I would recommend Quincy as a great place to retire and receive elderly care.

While I am in school it can give leverage and accountability to work ethic. My travel can be local or 10-30 miles from where i am living. Which is Quincy MA. I am currently attending school at Quincy college for computer science it may not be relative to the field i attend for college but i can say its useful when it comes to customer relations and support.
