There are many facilities for all ages., children, youth and seniors.
Fairly age-friendly. There is a senior center down the street from where I live. My landlord herself is a senior, and there are grab bars in the shower. There are transportation arrangements to help seniors with mobility problems from the local Regional Transit Authority, paratransit, and other organizations/services.
Most people keep to themselves but we help each other out when needed, i.e. snow removal, yard clean up, help with pet care, etc. Most of us don't socialize together.
There are some 55-plus active housing units being built and the Senior Center is a nice service for the community. It seems like it is a good place to be.

I have a mixed opinion about this topic. I Livona middle-class community where there are elderly people as scattered as many as there are children. I live in Saxonville which is a historical community and there are many places were people come to visit and learn about the communities history. Because of this there are benches and park strategically placed around every corner in Saxonville which makes it nice for the elderly people to have a place to sit and rest pretty frequently around every corner. However, on the flipside there are potholes everywhere and gaps in the sidewalk in the street where in elderly person could slip or child could slip someone on a bicycle or a little child first learning to walk there are so many dangers around every corner as many as there are benches for people to rest. I feel like there could be a lot of adjustments made to this neighborhood to make it more friendly for the elderly and the young.
