Abstract

The increasing life expectancy in Indonesia is a sign that the government must be more serious in improving programs related to the elderly, especially the health of the elderly in a comprehensive manner so that the welfare of the elderly is getting better and they can live properly. Family support is needed to maintain the health of the elderly, to improve the quality of life of the elderly. The main health problem experienced by the elderly population worldwide is non-communicable diseases. The targets of this community service activity are posyandu cadres and families who have the elderly. This type of activity is community service in the form of health education related to elderly health problems, providing training to families, filling out the Family Health Monitor board and the "Healthy Elderly, Happy Family" module and conducting home visits to analyze the health of the elderly directly and the risk factors that threaten the health of the elderly. This community service activity was conducted from April 11 to June 26, 2021. This service was conducted in the Rewarangga Health Center Area, East Ende District, Ende Regency, NTT Province. This activity was attended by 10 elderly posyandu cadres and 30 families who have the elderly. There is a need for further community service activities in this area, due to its difficult access and signal location, so the public is rarely exposed to the latest health information.
