Elderly health is important in relation to quality of life. Prosperous elderly has an optimal quality of life. The purpose of this community service is to find out the characteristics and diseases suffered by the elderly who live with their families. This community service is in the form of a direct survey conducted with home visits to several families with elderly or pre-elderly living in them. The results show that the majority of those surveyed were female (73%). At the level of depression, more than 50% was found with no depression. From the level of independence, almost all of them were in the independent elderly category. Family APGAR assessment shows that more than 80% were in the category of mild dysfunction or no family dysfunction. On blood pressure examination, more than half had hypertension both systolic (61%) and diastolic (56%) from degrees 1 to 3. Thus, further action is needed, especially nurses to make appropriate diagnoses and interventions for problems that arise, so that quality of life can be maintained.
