a. Formulate a comprehensive, Statewide master plan which identifies the needs of the senior citizens in this State; recommends programs to locate and assist this segment of the State's population, especially those who are living in conditions hazardous to their physical health, are abused, neglected or destitute, or are unable to cope with their daily affairs and to provide themselves with minimal subsistence and living comforts; provides guidelines for the agencies concerned with senior citizens in the political subdivisions of the State which seek State and Federal funds; and suggests methods to coordinate the services provided to senior citizens by departments and agencies of the State and by the political subdivisions thereof.
