Louisiana exempts seniors from property taxes. That should be the way to protect seniors. Perhaps in combination with a means test.
You have to have some means of funding these things. Your choices are Sales Tax, Property Tax, Personal Income Tax, Corporate Income Tax, Fuel Tax, User Fees, etc.
Every tax causes market distortions. The goal is to raise the funds you need for legitimate purposes of government with the lowest market distortion. I think a combination works well.

Just so you are all aware,
the NEA supports the elimination of property taxes for school funding because it allows them greater power of obfuscation.
If you don't know where the money is being spent, you don't know where it's being wasted.

All property taxes for senior citizens, 65 and over should be eliminated.

Retired folks are exempt from property tax on their residence if they choose. So what's the problem?

Elimination of government education would solve that problem.
