Abstract Ageing brings unique challenges, with declines in physical, psychological, and social well-being leading to issues like cognitive decline, depression, and dependency. These changes demand tailored strategies to support the elderly in maintaining quality of life. The study's results, conducted with 60 elderly participants using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and UCLA Scale, revealed pressing issues. Among participants, 30% experienced moderate isolation, and 70% faced moderately high isolation, while 25% had severe depression and 75% had moderate depression, with none reporting mild or normal levels. Factors like age (61-70 years), low income (under Rs.10,000), and insufficient sleep (less than six hours) significantly influenced these outcomes. These findings underscore the critical need for interventions to enhance social connection and mental well-being among this vulnerable population.
