They do ish. There's Medicare which is state sponsored health insurance, Social Security which provides a stipend every month in retirement and a bunch of NGOs they fund to provide meals and other stuff.

Nothing much for housing besides the general housing assistance schemes.

There is also the VA, so I guess they just have to start the department of elderly affairs.
