I have lived here most of my life however, there should be more resources for the elderly than there is for the elderly. Food pantries, shelter,and resources for those in need of housing repairs. The application process should be easier than it is at the present.

I would say what makes this place age friendly is that my neighbor hood is field with all ages and we are all like family and look out for one another. If anyone needs help we are all very willing to help that person regardless of age.
