I think this is a false premise, they don't need to stay in houses, if we actually built stuff they could move into smaller condos when retired. Easier access to ammenties, less stairs, less maintenance. All my grandparents in Canada did this. 2nd option, if you firmly believe that everyone must stay in their home until death then you simple offer tax exemptions to elderly with low income for their primary residence. I would be surprised if low income retires represented the majority of the "winners" of prop 13. Big corporations and upper/middle class landowners.
