Age friendly because from a kid you're taught to respect the elderly and always be a helping hand to the elderly it can be helping with groceries or walking across the street it's just something that is normalized my grandma has dementia and that's where I first learned it was hard her forgetting sometimes but it was easy to handle with help around often she would walk and leave the house but the town knew who she was and would call if they seen her it was very helpful
