You have to be 18 or older , to work at most places here in Detroit
I just feel as if my community doesn't know offer any jobs nor community bonding.
My neighbor has a mix of all ages.
What make this place age friendly because of general livability example of why I feel the way I do is that the elderly people are afraid to let strangers into their homes and some can't afford to have a caregiver and a lot of them don't have family..
A place is considered to be age friendly, when it can accommodate any age group without those individuals feeling, left out or being an outcast. I feel this way because many places offer handicap accessibility, including restrooms, ramps, and so forth.
