Several hospitals, assisted living and rehab centers. Volunteer opportunities in hospitals, schools and special needs day programs. Lifelong learning places that offer a variety of courses. Many restaurants and grocery stores. Clean, new buildings. Mountain views. Golf courses, pools, tennis and pickle ball courts. Spring baseball-pro teams (Padres and Royals). Part-time work in retail stores, tutoring, grocery stores,schools, etc. Downside is the lack of transportation which could take you out of the city of Surprise. Local bus and taxis only. Awesome winters. Hot summers. Safe city.
There is plenty of places for the elderly, which I am one of to be put but I have only visited one and I wouldn't put my worst enemy there. There is very little work for people my age here. I would think that I would be a good client to help with another elderly person who is unable to care for themselves. I am still able to do so but am having a terrible time finding a job. I was a paid Family Attendant for 7 years but I took care of my husband for over 10 years as his caregiver, before he passed in Sept.
Surprise is half and half I would say. We over 55 communities and quit a few senior living area
