<![CDATA[The increasing elderly population raises complex psychological and spiritual challenges, particularly for older adults living in nursing homes who are vulnerable to loneliness, anxiety, and loss of meaning due to physical limitations and limited social support. This community service program aimed to strengthen the psycho-spiritual resilience of elderly residents through a structured and participatory spiritual accompaniment program at Panti Wreda Hanna Yogyakarta. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the program involved needs assessment, module design, implementation, and reflective evaluation. Interventions were conducted for 10–12 weeks through communal prayer, personal spiritual guidance, group reflection, and psycho-spiritual education. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and group reflections, then analyzed thematically. The findings showed increased inner peace, spiritual engagement, and social interaction, along with reduced loneliness and anxiety. The program also produced a spiritual accompaniment module that can be sustainably used by nursing home staff.]]>
