San Bernardino, California, is a place with good attribues for older people. It’s close to beautiful nature, like the San Bernardino National Forest, where you can hike or enjoy the outdoors. There are places like the Garcia Center for the Arts and the library that have fun events and activities. The city has hospitals and senior centers to help with healthcare and staying active. Public buses like Omnitrans are helpful and cheaper for seniors, but many people still need a car to get around. Some areas are safer and nicer than others, so it depends on where you live. Overall, it’s a good place for people who like nature and community events, but it might not work for everyone.
