Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses have no prohibition to accepting state or private help or aid if they duly qualify to receive it.
Note: Given the particularities of the elderly, and their special needs, it should be noted that individual Witnesses (or their families) are free to make their own personal decisions in this regard and not all Witness families will decide to accept the provision of a pre-prepared food provision service ("meals on wheels").

Should you give a card to a Jehovah's witness for the birth of their child?
Yes you can give a witnesses a card; whether the witnesses will chose to accept it will depend on several factors. Since Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas or birthdays (or other celebrations they deem as 'pagan') if this has previously been explained the witness may or may not choose to accept the card if it is for one of these occassions. He or she may accept the card in the spirit it was given, explaining the above or may chose not to accept the card. If the card is for another occassion that the witnesses finds unobjectionable they will likely accept it with thanks.

Of course. We seek medical attention. There's no Bible directive against medical help. The only exceptions are: a) using blood as a medical tool.

As far as chemotherapy; or any other medical proceedure (ie: which particular surgery proceedure to pursue) - - individuals may have their own personal preferance, or personal objection to some form of medical treatment - - but that would be completely personal, for whatever reasons or lack of reasons they might have; perhaps after consulting with a doctor or a number of specialists. (We have a number in our congregation who've had chemotherapy.)
