Check with AARP.  They help seniors find work.  Ask your local Workforce Development Office for a number.  Or look in the phone book.

I've never heard of anything for people over 55, but there are free tuition programs for people over 65.  Look into your local colleges and ask if they have any programs.  Also, there are college advising programs/services that can be accessed on the internet.  It could never hurt to ask a financial aid advisor you're interested in programs.

GOD bless you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  My Mother is in one also...2 years to the date.  I know how you feel.....here is what i would do...\n-adress your concerns to the home administrator\n-do it via e-mail, so you have evidence of their responses to you\n-contact the following\nIf You Need Help\n\nAdult Protective Services\n\nAdult Protective Services (APS) is the principal public agency responsible both for investigating reported cases of elder and vulnerable adult abuse and for providing victims with treatment and protective services. \n\nAlthough most APS agencies also handle adult abuse cases (serving clients between 18 and 59 years of age), nearly 70 percent of their caseloads involve elder abuse. \n\nUsually, the APS Unit, Area Agency on Aging, or County Department of Social Services is designated as the agency to receive and investigate allegations of elder abuse and neglect. If the investigators find abuse or neglect, they arrange for services to help protect the victim. \n\nMany other agencies (and nonprofit organizations) are also actively working to protect vulnerable elders. Examples: \n\n\nState agency on aging \n\nLaw enforcement agency (local police, sheriff's office, district attorney, the court system)\n\nMedical examiner/coroner's office \n\nHospitals and medical clinics\n\nState long-term care ombudsman's office\n\nPublic health agency\n\nArea agency on aging\n\nMental health agency\n\nFacility licensing/certification agency\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nLearn More . . .\n\n\nAdult Protective Services\n\nAPS Ethical Principles and Guidelines \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nLaw Enforcement\n\nLocal police, sheriffs, and prosecuting attorneys may investigate and prosecute abuse, particularly in cases involving sexual abuse or assault. In states whose statutes make elder abuse a crime, there may be a requirement to report suspected abuse to a law enforcement agency.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nLong Term Care (LTC) Ombudsman Services\n\nState LTC ombudsman programs investigate and resolve nursing home complaints, and in some areas, complaints about board and care facilities and professional home care providers. If you are concerned about abuses, check with your State Unit on Aging or Area Agency on Aging to see if the LTC ombudsman program in your area can help.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nInformation and Referral (I & R)\n\nEvery Area Agency on Aging operates an I & R line that can refer people to a wide range of services for people 60 and older. Trained information operators and can be particularly helpful in finding services that can help prevent abuse and neglect.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNational and State Information\n\nFamily members who live in different cities or states can call a nationwide toll-free Eldercare Locator number (1-800-677-1116) to find support and resources that can help. On the web at www.eldercare.gov. In addition, some states have established a statewide toll-free number to provide centralized aging services information for residents of their states.\n\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!!

Can't find anything specific for Texas, however, check with building and transportation, zoning, and don't forget ADA. Parking lots must be handicapped assessable.

This happened to me last December.  I wound up in ICU.  What to do about my disabled/non-driver husband, the house, getting around etc.  The Hospital I was in sent a Case Manager (an RN with Social Services training etc) to visit me in.  She really helped.  I could not believe the amount of available services in my area.  There are Catholic Charities, Jewish Chariles, Lutheran Charities,  none of whom care what (or if) your religion is.  There is a low/no fee medical or seniors transportation service.  The list went on and on.  If you have the $ or not, services are available.   Hopefully,  so are REAL friends!!

actually i live right next to one, on cypress street, near barnes and noblesand valley fair. imsure you know where that is... if you were to drive towards valley fair FROM barnes and nobels, turn right on cypress so youd be driving towards a 7-11 basically and a bit down the street is a senior center.

I think that there is one on Division street on the east side of Portland (Oregon that is).  Check with social services and they should be able to better assist you.

Why don't you offer services to senior citizens.  Run errands for them, light house work, grocery shopping.  It might sound like a lot, but it probably will make you some cash while doing a good deed!
