the part of oakcliff is very age friendly ive lived there all my life i have a few a bit older people in my community that have know me since i was a child i help them as well from time to time even cut there grass an they are very friendly as well so are the people around
Dallas has a large retirement population where people have moved here to be close to their children because of children' Career choices to live here, and the parents follow
ive cared for patients of all ages from 30's to 90's its how you speak and treat them that makes them age friendly.
Everyone pretty friendly
