Just as a summary. I am studying for a master's degree in healthcare Administration and have worked for over 3 years as a caregiver. I would appreciate it if you could email me so I can provide you with my resume.

Planned community with many opportunities for older community members.  Good walking areas, many parks, safe bike trails, a quarterly publication that lists activities especially for older adults.  Education opportunities through a community college, and home of UC-Irvine and Concordia Lutheran University. Being Southern California, housing is expensive, but amentities are plentiful.  Not great in public transportation, however.
