nothing really
I have not been here long, however from what I have noticed the aged seem fairly well cared for. There are several services to assist. Senior center provides rides when needed. There is meals on wheels etc.
There are a lot of resources for seniors in our community. We have a local senior center and quite a few assisted living facilities locally. It is a small town so you don't have to go far to access services.
The people are nice
