For about 5 years, I volunteered with the elderly in rest homes. I saw what happens to us as we get old, infirm, sick, and lose the last of our mental faculties. I'm being somewhat serious, in that I've watched the elderly closely and believe they will vote en masse for their own desires and interests until the younger generations are completely unable to survive. I'd probably shock you by also holding a belief that voting and driving are two things senior citizens should prove competent to do in order to continue to be allowed to do them in society.

Your personal experiences of the elderly in rest homes are probably not a representative sample of the elderly in society, for all the usual reasons that personal experiences aren't representative, plus the fact that elderly in rest homes themselves are likely not representative of elderly in society.
