Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews and documentation, analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation and drawing conclusions/verification. Data validity was tested by source triangulation.Results: The results of the study from seven respondents showed that family support plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life of the elderly with dementia.
