There are a lot of opportunities for everyone and anyone. Whether it's for school, work, to be involved with the community. Everyone is welcomed.
This City has recreational for seniors, for example you have lanes in the park where the elderly can walk with or without their walker etc
Housing for elderly people
It has everything for all ages
Limited Accessibility to public transportation (where there are no elevators, or they are not working). Curve cuts on the streets are very outdated all over the city. The MBTA does offer "the RIDE" but at an extremely heightened cost. Seniors are given a discount, but often that is no more than 10%. In terms of education and community engagement, there are many resources, including excellent health subsidization by the state.
I really Don't know
WE HAVE CUMUNITYCENTERS AND THE MBTA HAS A CAR SURVISE IF THE PERSON CANT GET AROUND WE ALSO HAVE AGE FRIENDLY HOUSING TO MAKE INDEPENDENT LIVING EASIER
Is age friendly, public transportation, schools and different back grounds and languages, religious beliefs and from all parts of the world.
Peoplewill greet you and help out of in need. Walking down the street people say "hello,?how are you?" They also stop they bus and hold it for the elderly that can't move as fast.
Very diverse and versatile.
