I'm really not sure if this town ins age friendly or not.
Almost everyone in this town is mature.
This community is diversity with all ages and everybody try to look out for each other and protect and watch the neighborhood from the wrong people

I have found Anderson County residents very respectful of their senior citizens. We have Meals on Wheels center, income based housing, assisted living facilities, Go Bus for transport, veterans affairs office, library, YMCA with senior discounts and many restaurants all with senior discounts.
