Very walkable community, very safe area.
Clean, not high in density or traffic, high sense of community.
It caters to all ages.
Miami is age friendly since they provide community centers and resources to help the age. They also have transportation and adult daycare available to help.
It is a very walkable/accessible area. Transportation is good with the metro and metromover, as well as local buses. There are many grocery stores within walking distance and multiple healthy food options.
Working with older people can be very challenging, but with my experience I will say they can be some what friendly, by the way u approach them. Some way just need to get use to you, or some way not. That shouldn't stop you from carrying out your jobs and duties in making them more independent.
My neighborhood has a lot of older people including communities for Iiving and transportation and work environments for the elderly
It has both senior and junior residents and citizens.
Violence and its friendly because the culture sticks together everyone is the same culture
The people seem very friendly.
