ELI5: What do seniors with no savings do if they have no family?

Where to elderly folks who depend fully on social security go when they can no longer care for themselves if they have no family? Are there state funded nursing homes that take in residents?

They live off of a combination of SSI income ($700/mo), food stamps, and there are many senior-specific services designed to help them stay in their homes as long as possible (that is both better for them, and cheaper for the fed govt). Some such programs do home repairs, home dr visits, and there are programs to drive sr's to dr visits. also community senior centers for fun little things to do for cheap/free.   
Medicare pays for nursing homes. They aren't good ones.
