Is there an organization that helps seniors with problems like this; that won't get me kicked out of my apartment? My apartment became infested with bed bugs. An exterminator was brought in by management but the bugs are still there. It is not just my apartment but 4 others also. I called the exterminator but they refuse to come back until management tells them to do so. I can't get management to do so.

Spray with cedarcide (online) your purse, your bed, your pillow cases. Re-treat any blankets brought out from storage.
Who is visiting you?
Don't want to mention this, but you treated your hairbrushes?
Strip the bed and vacuum both sides of the mattress. Launder the sheets and blankets. Toss the pillows in the dryer with scented dryer sheets.
Think like a bug. Is a space small enough to hide in? Vacuum & spray it.
Search your local court system and find out if there's a landlord-tenant division, then call and see if there's any kind of pro bono legal service provided to represent you and the other tenants until the issue is resolved.
In a situation like this, all rents could be escrowed and withheld from the landlord until he meets health standards and eliminates all the bed bugs.
