entitlements: pensions, carer's allowance,
accommodation issues: nursing homes, sheltered housing and living alone allowances. -
safety and security issues: grants for personal alarms and security devices such as door and window locks and security lighting

health concerns: accessing community services like home help or occupational therapy. We advocate with the HSE on behalf of Older People.
