All Crypto, All Crypto, how far will it go? Let’s not lose touch in social life. While researching the rights of the elderly as part of an initiative, I came across a wealth of useful information… You should read this—it will be helpful. **Guide to Rights and Social Support for Citizens Aged 65 and Over** I have compiled the legal rights, exemptions, and support mechanisms currently in effect for our citizens aged 65 and above, as well as for our elderly who require care. (All information listed has been verified against current legislation.) **Home Healthcare Service (444 38 33):** Continuous home-based services—including medical examinations, injections, wound dressing, and medical device monitoring—are provided for chronically ill patients who are bedridden or have mobility limitations. **Age 65+ Monthly Pension (Old-Age Pension):** Granted to individuals aged 65 and over who have no social security coverage. Eligibility requires that the combined per capita income of the individual and their spouse be below one-third of the net minimum wage. Income from children or relatives not residing in the same household is not included in the calculation. **Home Care Assistance:** Financial support is provided to caregivers of individuals deemed “Totally Dependent” in a health board report and whose household per capita income is below two-thirds of the net minimum wage. **Real Estate Tax Exemption & Refund:** Citizens who own only one residence within Turkey (not exceeding 200 m² gross area) and have no income other than a pension (or no income at all) are exempt from real estate tax. If taxes were paid unintentionally in the past, a retroactive refund application can be submitted to the municipality for up to the last five years. **Free Urban Public Transportation:** Under Law No. 4736, urban public transportation services operated by municipalities or authorized by them—including buses, metros, trams, and sea routes—are free for citizens aged 65 and over. **TCDD Train Discount:** A 50% discount applies to high-speed (YHT), mainline, and regional trains for citizens aged 65 and over (valid for Standard/Pulman carriages). **THY Domestic and International Flight Discounts:** Turkish Airlines offers a 25% discount on domestic flights and specific fare classes on direct international flights for passengers aged 65 and over. **Free Museum and Archaeological Site Entry:** All museums and archaeological sites under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism can be entered free of charge by presenting a valid Turkish ID card. **National VEFA Program:** Basic needs such as home cleaning, personal care, and shopping for elderly or disabled citizens living alone or unable to care for themselves are provided free of charge by SYDV teams. **Home ID Card Service:** For elderly or ill individuals unable to move, Turkish ID card applications and biometric procedures are completed at their residence. **Priority Service in Public Institutions (Priority Queue):** Citizens aged 65 and over are entitled to direct priority service in healthcare facilities, banks, land registry offices, and other public buildings. **SABAH (Azo) & Alo 183 Support Line:** Operated by the Ministry of Family and Social Services, this 24/7 hotline provides social services, rehabilitation support, and emergency assistance for citizens aged 65 and over. **Nursing Homes and Elderly Care Centers:** Citizens aged 65 and over with no income or family members to care for them may use state-run nursing homes free of charge. Those with income or social security are subject to a tiered fee structure. **Elder-Friendly (Geriatric) Units in Hospitals:** Public hospitals designate dedicated staff and specialized areas to facilitate hospital procedures for elderly patients, ensuring rapid resolution of all outpatient and diagnostic processes with accompanying support. **Important Reminder:** The majority of benefits and exemptions require individual applications—they are not automatically assigned by the system. For detailed information and official confirmation, please use the e-State portal, the ALO 144 Social Assistance Hotline, or the official channels of relevant institutions.
