These services are provided through private and public agencies on the local, county, state, and federal level. Through these programs, the elderly can get assistance with medical, legal, and financial problems. They can locate more appropriate housing, find a special exercise program for senior citizens, and even arrange to have meals delivered to their homes if they have difficulty preparing them.
