The city has made improvements to safety on sidewalks and crosswalks. The city operates and maintains an active senior center. The city offers low income senior housing
Not a lot of sidewalks to walk for elderly. Friendlier for younger families. No public transportation.so one has to drive everywhere. Small downtown area.
Small town living is always welcoming for all. I dont think there is anywhere in this town that would discriminate either of elderly people or young adults or children
I would say it is not age friendly as there aren't enough accessible housing for mature adults, transportation to city square, there isn't an accessible shopping stores or other activities
Near public transportation Apartment housing available Senior center closeby Can walk to pharmacy Library is closeby Lovely park around the corner Senior transportation available
close to train and shop and an adult senior center. has many activities and a town health department good for seniors health concerns. It also has a responsive fire and police department
age friendly, all ages live here, many homes lived in by empty nesters that have just stayed put but we welcome all ages. we enjoy having children around
There is a adult community center for senior citizens to have day time activities. Computer learning. Exercise learning. Affordable lunch meals. Weekly grocery shopping.
My neighborhood is very age friendly we have families and retired people living their new families move in with childrenAnd families with children move out and parents are retired living here
conservative values makes it age friendly. we live in an area where the residents care for the property ownership. comprised of muti-generations and backrounds.
