Abstract

The elderly population in Jelarai Village faces challenges in understanding proper nutrition and medication adherence, which can lead to health complications. This community service program aims to empower the elderly to improve their nutritional understanding and medication adherence. Activities were carried out through health education, nutrition counseling, and medication adherence monitoring involving 40 elderly participants. After the intervention, there was a significant increase in nutritional knowledge (from 45% to 78%) and medication adherence (from 52.5% to 85%). The elderly empowerment program effectively improved nutritional understanding and medication adherence, contributing to better health outcomes in the community.
