Do any animals, other than humans, care for their elderly?

It doesn’t make much sense for a wild animal to risk its own survival to care for its seniors. I just imagine older animals falling behind and eventually starving, getting killed or succumbing.

I guess the only possible candidates are group animals.

Elephant herd slow down for and defend aging herd-members, and when they die, come from miles around to congregate around the body to mourn. They don’t go to the lengths humans do to keep elders alive when they can’t feed themselves any longer (kind of hard without opposable thumbs) but they definitely look out for them.
