The area i stay is probably one of the safest area that i've ever lived in. This does make the place age friendly because it enables everyone to stay active, whether by jogging etc, all through the day and night. There are also so many restaurants around, that delivers food in a short amount of time, making it convenient for all to eat what they would like.

I belive my community is age friendly because we have many senior communities, shopping organizations such as the arc, good will and various resturants like black eyed pease who value the senior customers. They go to the extent of giving seniors special days of discounts. Also, people are very friendly to each other and hold religious sectors at high values.
