I recently moved to Tehachapi due to it being a small community that has less , traffic and congestion , which is less stressful . The community seems very friendly and seems to promote activities /programs/events for young and elderly .

Tehachapi is a small city located in the Paiute Mountains between Bakersfield, Ca. and the Mojave desert. It has a very low crime rate, many "Small Town" community events, and is considered a lovely retirement community.

Most clients have specialist Medical and Dental providers in excess of 65+ miles away depending on where in the Tehachapi area the client lives. Tehachapi has a Hospital for stabilization and transport for emergency situations. No specialty care other than ER care in the city and outlying areas. There is no public transportation to provide for physically limited/challanged clients to get to.
