On the contrary, most small towns (I have lived in) have much finer grained community support networks, many ad-hoc, that can provide better quality of life. This is however highly dependent on your local community. However it is never too late to start something. I find if there is a need, there is a huge untapped well of hands-on support you just don't find in urban environments. The fact that people still know their neighbors is a huge enabler and stimulus of compassion and support.
