I am fairly new to the area. I haven't been out much.
I've stayed in this community for 27 years,and there is a lot of older living in the area. Also people seem to be more respectful and considerate of older people.
Lake worth is a great environment for all ages
I just recently moved here in November 2023. The town seems ok. I've met a couple of neighbors. I don't go outside often.
Love to work with the elderly
