In my opinion, this place is somewhat age friendly because not all seniors approve or trust of someone way younger them to care for them.
I am presently a retired educator for over 35+ years instructing ages 6-17 and secondary education college level. The City of Houston, Texas is extremely age friendly since I returned to this city my birth place after spending 25 years as an instructor in New York(Manhattan). I live in a retirement complex near downtown Houston which is a very awesomely livable and user friendly complex for seniors 62 and older. This particular building of seniors and the surrounding community is engaged in social media, community involvement, healthcare, religion, and day-to-day living in my community is geared for mature aged persons and I am very excited and blessed to be here.
