Good communication
I've lived here for 2 years and I have yet to meet anyone mean. It's busy over here some days but still friendly.
Friendly & Caring
What makes this area age friendly is the health care providers towards the elderly & especially the community engagement. The area I live in is well integrated when it comes to the youth & senior citizens.
I think it's a age friendly place when everyone treats each other with respect and kindness and have excellent communication skills at different age groups.
