ABSTRACT Indonesia is experiencing a significant increase in the elderly population, particularly in rural areas such as Tulungrejo Village, Batu City, where elderly care services face challenges in meeting the growing demand. Additionally, the dropout rate among rural youth is an urgent social issue. The "Masih Sehat" program (Healthy and Dignified Elderly Home) was developed as a solution to empower school dropouts by providing skills training in elderly care based on Islamic values. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the "Masih Sehat" program in enhancing the elderly care skills of school dropouts and creating a positive social impact in Tulungrejo Village. This six-month program in Tulungrejo Village applied a community-based training approach. The implementation stages included socialization and recruitment, module preparation, elderly health training, and skill evaluation through observation and questionnaires. The program improved youth skills in elderly care, particularly in blood pressure and glucose level measurement, as well as in empathetic communication techniques aligned with Islamic values. Data showed an 80% improvement in elderly care skills post-training, with a 70% increase in basic knowledge. The "Masih Sehat" program successfully enhanced the skills and social responsibility of school dropouts while addressing the need for elderly care in rural areas. This community-based program can be replicated in other areas with local adjustments. Keywords: School Dropouts, Empowerment, Elderly, Care, Islamic Values, Tulungrejo Village.]]>
