Senior citizens get sent to "old folks' homes" so they can be taken care of. Once they get to that point where they can't walk, or do pretty much anything on their own, they need help. It's either send them to the senior centers or leave them to suffer on their own. When they are in the senior centers, they get to be with fellow senior citizens and make new friends. It keeps them busy and there is always a nurse or doctor checking up on them if they are taking all of their medications and what not. They need help because they just can't do it all on their own. They deserve a good life too so they don't suffer by living on their own when they can't take care of themselves.

Society sends elderly people to old folks' homes for various reasons, including lack of family support, medical needs that are best met in a specialized care facility, and financial constraints that make it difficult for families to provide the necessary level of care at home. Additionally, some older individuals may choose to live in these facilities for the sense of community and social engagement they provide.

What concern about ending slavery did the American Colonization Society seek to address?

The American Colonization Society was formed to send Freedmen and women to new homes in Africa. Members were anti-slavery people, but many, as with Abraham Lincoln, were not ardent abolitionists.
