I older I get the harder to find employment that is not just surrounded by younger people that is new in the field.
I would say Lynchburg is age friendly as there are many services and opportunities available for elderly. Lynchburg Parks and Recreation provide many social activities for seniors and we also have services provided through Central VA Area Agency on Aging just to name a few.
I live in a working community with Children and very positive hard working families. We do have several disabled individuals.
