In  conducting  the  FGD  the  participants  were 
divided  into  five  (5)  groups  so  that  they  could 
exchange ideas about what problems they faced when 
serving the elderly and what efforts were being made 
to solve all the problems of the elderly.

4.3  Interview Results 
The interview was conducted on 87-year-old Mery's 
mother. Mery's mother was very happy to be spoken 
to. His speaking ability is very smooth, but the decline 
in  memory  makes  his  memory  ability  in  long-term 
memory.Where  he  is  only  able  to  remember  past 
events  that  impressed  him  throughout  his  life  and 
forget  about  newly  given  information  such  as  the 
name of the researcher, the purpose of the researcher 
came  and  other  things  that  at  the  beginning  of  the 
meeting  have  been  conveyed  but  will  be  asked 
repeatedly.  Mrs.  Mery  is very  proud  to  tell  me  that 
she used to fight with her parents, crossing the border 
that was heavily guarded by the Dutch army. Walked 
for  miles  to  avoid  the  Dutch  army.  He  was  very 
enthusiastic about telling it and even repeated it many 
times.  It  can  be  for  hours  he  tells  stories  without 
fatigue  and  looks  very  excited  and  happy 
accompanied by telling stories with researchers. As if 
he forgot the time, forgot to eat and drink even though 
it had been offered by researchers.  
Likewise with the next informant Mrs. Nani, age 
80 years. He used to be a lecturer. Mrs. Nani is also 
very enthusiastic about telling how she never aspired 
to be a lecturer because she was originally a teacher. 
The teacher who his students said was cruel. But fate 
ushered in becoming a lecturer even to get the title of 
exemplary lecturer. He was very proud of it because 
he himself realized that he was not a  good lecturer. 
Even  the  campus  once  sent  him  abroad  to  attend 
education  there.  Mrs.  Nani  also  repeated  this  story 
many times and seemed enthusiastic about telling it. 
Every  now  and  then  he  laughs  proudly  at  the 
achievements  he  has  achieved.  Because  from  the 
morning Mrs. Nani had not eaten  so  the  researcher 
tried to offer her a meal, but she refused. The reason 
if you eat can be at any time but the opportunity to 
chat  like  this  is  not  necessarily  he  gets  again. 
Researchers  were  very  touched  to  hear  mrs.  Nani's 
reason because she was so lonely that she didn't want 
to miss her time when  someone would  listen  to  her 
tell a story. 
From these two informants, it can be known that 
the basic needs of these elderly people are friends to 
tell stories. A friend who would accompany him as he 
reminisced  about  his  past  because  that  was  all  he 
remembered. But it takes a lot of time to be able to 
accompany  this  elderly,  while  each  family  member 
also has their own busyness and sometimes also bored 
if you continue to hear the story that's all. 
But that is the reality that must be faced when we 
have  the  elderly  at  home.    It  takes  awareness  and 
patience because the needs of the elderly are different 
from others. Their need to speak and be listened to is 
becoming  dominant  today.  This  makes  the  elderly 
feel more comfortable, and happy because the family 
is there for him. A simple but difficult wish for family 
members to fulfill. This is also what makes the elderly 
feel ignored so  that they  are often depressed, easily 
sick and not excited.  
From the results of research that has been carried 
out, many new things have been found, such as the 
problems of the elderly that have not been thought of 
until now, appear as a form of building awareness for 
elderly companions. In addition, each participant can 
measure  his  ability  so  far  in  serving  the  elderly. 
Knowledge and skills also increase due to exchanging 
experiences during FGDs. 
The high level of knowledge does not guarantee 
the welfare of the elderly at home. The limited time 
that family members have because of their respective 
occupations makes them forget that there are workers 
who care about them, namely the elderly, whether it's 
their parents, grandparents or uncles who live in the 
same house. 
For this reason, one of the family members who 
acts as a caregiver is needed, namely the person who 
accompanies  and  cares  for  the  elderly  at  home. 
Usually in a family there is one person who cares the 
most about the condition of the family and this person
