When in mind of the elderly or the young, San Benito, Texas is a great place. Transportation buses run through the streets of this small city. Riding with the elderly with care. Living here is so relaxing and apartments are available for the elderly. There are adult engagement centers that allow the age friendly community to participate in activities such as exercises, arts and crafts, dancing and trips to the grocery store. What fun.
I have lived in this town all my life , for 35 years I not once have had a problem with any person of age , everyone Iv'e ever met and have known has always been very friendly. Its all about the respect you give and show is how people treat you back.
San Benito has a variety of age friendly adult day cares. San Benito also provides free transportation to those in need.
Everyone engages with each other and really get to know each other.
