This study uses a qualitative research approach and Purposive Sampling sampling technique involving 3 respondents. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, observations, and documentaries. Data were analyzed using the Interactive, Miles and Huberman analysis models. The results of the study indicate that the fulfillment of physical and psychological needs of neglected elderly in Pondok Lansia Berdikari is fulfilled with a comfortable environment, controlled temperature, adequate lighting, minimal noise, and attention to nutritional intake and hydration. On the psychological side, recreational activities and opportunities for social interaction are provided that support the emotional well-being of the elderly. However, the fulfillment of psychological needs in terms of religion has not been fully met due to limited facilities for places of worship, although religious programs have been available. Thus, the needs of the elderly are physically met but in terms of religious psychology they have not been met. Therefore, it is necessary to provide worship facilities for the elderly.]]>
