excellent community
Probably opening more senior centers close to this area.
it has been a long time since have cared for the elderly. i lived in NY when doing so. i did laundry, meals, batheing, dr appts, hair dresser appts, some gardening outside if they had had asked. elderly ppl are the sweetest and often the most forgotten. i NEVER forget them for my father needed my care every day before his passing. they all did their part in their younger years and now it is our time to help them.
Everyone in the neighborhood looks out for one another we are very cautious about strangers and make sure all is well
