Senior Citizen Safety refers to the measures, practices, and programs designed to protect older adults from various hazards that may threaten their well-being. This encompasses physical safety (such as fall prevention, home security, and safe transportation), health safety (including access to medical care and managing chronic conditions), and emotional safety (ensuring mental health support and combating social isolation).
