Abstract


The increasing number of elderly people in Indonesia, including in Malang City, demands strategic
efforts to realize healthy, independent, and quality elderly. This study aims to describe the
implementation of the seven dimensions of Resilient Elderly which include spiritual, physical,
emotional, intellectual, social, vocational, and environmental dimensions at Smart Bisma Elderly
School, Arjosari Village, Malang City. The method used was a descriptive qualitative approach with
data collection techniques through interviews and documentation studies. The results showed that
the seven dimensions have been implemented through various structured and sustainable programs,
such as religious activities, health counseling, skills training, and social activities that actively involve
the elderly. The implementation of the program has a positive impact on improving physical fitness,
psychological well-being, and the independence of the elderly in living their daily lives. The support
of companion cadres and the social environment are the main supporting factors in the success of the
program. However, challenges such as limited facilities and different levels of understanding among
participants are still found. The implementation of the seven dimensions of Resilient Elderly in this
elderly school has proven to be effective in promoting healthy and independent aging. Sustainability
and improvement of the program need to be done collaboratively to reach more elderly in the future.
