The aging process that is not avoided by the elderly. The elderly experience physical and mental decline and are vulnerable to the severity of the Covid-19 infection. Family and community participation is needed to pay attention to the needs of the elderly. The Christian Hana Nursing Home is a partner of the Faculty of Medicine, Tarumanagara University for the implementation of Geriatric clinical clerkship learning activities. During the pandemic, the Hana Christian Home Care carried out isolation for partner residents to prevent the transmission of the Covid-19 virus. Many residents are sad and feel that their families are not paying attention, and the elderly are a group that is vulnerable to the Covid-19 virus. Based on the problems that arose at the Hana Christian NursingHome, we held a health service activity in the form of counseling about COVID-19 for the elderly. The health service activities that we carry out are needed because there is increased knowledge about COVID-19 for the elderly so that they can implement preventive measures against COVID-19 and stay happy during this pandemic. The health service activity which was attended by 70 elderly people was carried out on Saturday, September 4, 2021 at the Hana Christian Home Care Multipurpose Building, Pamulang. Health service activities are carried out still in the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic and PPKM, health service activities follow the rules of the Hana Christian Home, comply with the COVID-19 health protocol, health service activities at the Multipurpose Building, health service participants watch live broadcasts in their respective rooms - each with a television connected to the health service program we do. Service participants participated in health service events accompanied by health counseling related to Covid-19 with enthusiasm and hoped that health service activities could take place continuously and collaborate with other . Proses penuaan menyebabkan lansia rentan terhadap penyakit.
