This study used participatory action research design that conducted in three elderly communities in Surabaya, done in two phases: modules implementation, and evaluation of the implementation. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, questionnaires then be analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. Results of this study indicated that before being implemented, the modules must be customized to the needs of each community.

Before these intervention modules were implemented in other communities, they were necessary to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the target community.
