The South Side of Waltham is very age friendly. We have a great Mayor, Mayor McCarthy, who the seniors adore especially because she listens to their needs and helps them, along with all the other age groups. We have some good living facilities towards those who need it. Many things are MBTA accessible like the grocery store, the library, and there are things in the community which help seniors learn technology. There is a place which hires CNA/nurses on Main St. I have wanted to be a caretaker for the elderly. I train all the teens at my job to be exceptionally kind to the senior citizens. It is a community which enables independence also for the seniors.
