A community clinic would be most appropriate for this patient, as it is a low-cost or free option for individuals who are uninsured or are unable to afford traditional health care services. It is a resource for those who do not have a regular physician or access to health care. The other options (B: day care program, C: Meals-on-Wheels, D: home care) are not applicable to the patient's stated need for health care services.
