Their sacrifice is measured of how much they love us. Their devotion is truly an inspiration and blessing. They are worth emulating and following for they have truly made their marks on our hearts forever.
With how fast-paced our culture today, being a senior citizen is quite difficult. That is why the government is giving grants to the older people. Aside from their pension which can benefit them with savings, the government is taking steps to increase grant funds to home and community based support services. They have prioritized the elderly and here are the few programs that help our elderly parents:
Care giving program - It assures that are old people receives hot and delicious food prescribed to them and also a provision of groceries for senior citizens who are not able to leave their homes. Caregivers also assist and help with household chores which are too difficult for the elderly.
Nutrition program - It is one of the human aspect that the government pays attention especially for our senior citizens which needs this type of program. Lunch programs and meals service are not the only component to this program but it pays attention to the diet and exercise appropriate for the old people.
Transportation - When it comes to vehicle assistance, the government provides a bus for the old people to have a free ride during special occasions and when they need to travel to have their errands and also with their medical visits to the hospital or clinic.
Government grants such as food stamps and rental discounts and support are given to those who have pensions that are not enough to cover expenses such as medical, bills and rentals. We want the best government service and program that our elderly will benefit. We want them to experience goodness in the last years of their lives.
