I love my neighborhood very quiet and friendly people
Because I think working with people is a great and blessing getting experience it will be a right way to recommend other people
Where I live is very quiet and have access to banks grocery store school and post office and much more
Boston has a large aging population, it has easy access to many centers for community engagement
I have worked in the healthcare field from 2010. I have worked in hospitals, long term care facilities & in home care settings with patients with various conditions.
I went to nursing school for a couple years.
I have an Alzheimers training certificate. I also have a CPR healthcare provider certification.
I also did Human Resource management & have a certificate for that.
I have been driving since I was 18years old.
For community engagement, I engage mostly in a good life enrich ing events.
Boston is my Birthplace. My family moved to the South Shore when I was young, As a young adult I moved back to Boston's Back Bay, Beacon Hill and South Boston areas. I worked in Boston for over 30 years for a Utility Company until my retirement. I was married in Boston along with raising my daughter there until she was 6, then we moved to Quincy. I always loved Boston and still do. I live in Weymouth now, however; Boston is still very accessible by car, boat, MBTA, and commuter train, which I love. Boston is a wonderful City. My choice would be to work in Boston's Beacon Hill area where I am most familiar and comfortable with.
Diverse community of all ages , people and dog friendly, easy access to bus and train stations, all kinds of restaurants, supermarkets and shopping malls like Copley and Prudential, livable and clean environment and area is safe
I need to work night shift and to have a retirement plan
There's alot of good schools near the roxbury community, a lot of bike trails. But i say maybe because the neighborhoods depend on where you're at in roxbury but overall it's good and bad
My answer is probably because Boston is very cold at times. Boston is great for elderly because there's public transportation, easy signs to help navigate if someone get lost. The community always has programs for the elderly to engage with if they need something to do because a lot of times their family does not have time to visit them, so the community makes them feel at home or less lonely.
