Abstract

The number of elderly in Indonesia has been increasing each year while the quality of healthy life was not good enough. This paper aimed to examine the Elderly Healthy Home (Rumah Sehat Lansia/Rusela) implementation in providing health services for elderly in Yogyakarta. The percentage number of elderly was the highest in Yogyakarta and the Rusela has become the pilot project in Indonesia since its emergence in 2013. The research method in this article was descriptive qualitative in which the researchers employed focus group discussion, depth interviews, observation and documentation to gather data. The interactive model of Miles and Huberman was used to analyze the data. The research result showed that the Rusela implementation in Yogyakarta Indonesia has improved the health quality of elderly. This program, based on Mayor Regulation No 61/2013, has been replicated in some regions in Indonesia though in its implementation in Yogyakarta faced some obstacles such as lack of human resources and innovation.
