I have experience working in Dubai as private nurse and care giver
I feel it is age unfriendly because when I got hired as an instructional asst in 2003, I could have just as easily gotten hired as a regular teacher. I applied and went on numerous interviews but only got hired as aninstructional Assistant.
I believe Huntsville is age friendly because of the academics. I go to school in the state and because I am close by many colleges, I tend to run into a lot of people in my age range.
I have lived here over 30 years. Many seniors are still working.
I live in a senior community where I have access to shopping bus route anything that you could possibly need.
