Relatively age friendly. Seniors overlooked often.
It is fairly age-friendly. But many of the seniors have needs bit thhe don't have access.
They do get some help. However, they need more help. They need community engagement, transportation and many feel hopeless.

I noticed the Carlisle Harrisburg area is not friendly to older workers I have worked temp jobs in the Pittsburgh are and find they are more friendly to older employees and value the experience in life or workplace. I grew up in Harrisburg and went to college in Pittsburgh and live there 6 years. Pittsburgh population for two decades lost young people due to the lost of many Steel Industry jobs. Now younger people are staying and the area has many white collar and health care jobs. Harrisburg is a state capital and industry is booming and the internet is lowering the dependence on government workers.
