Abstract

This study examines the empowerment of the elderly at UPT Tresna Werdha Pasuruan using a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation analysis. The study applies Zimmerman’s empowerment quality theory, which encompasses intrapersonal, interactional, and behavioral dimensions. Findings reveal that empowerment programs—covering spiritual guidance, skills training, arts, and recreational activities—contribute to enhancing self-confidence, self-esteem, optimism, and strengthening social relationships among the elderly. These outcomes are supported by a well-structured organizational system, stable funding from the regional budget, and empathetic communication between staff and the elderly. Importantly, the elderly are positioned as active subjects rather than passive recipients of services, thereby maintaining social functioning and independence. While the program has proven effective, further development is necessary through the formulation of measurable long-term objectives and the expansion of partnerships with external stakeholders. Cross-sector collaboration is expected to enrich activities, mobilize additional resources, and reinforce social support, ensuring that the sustainability of elderly life can be achieved in a holistic and enduring manner.
