The population of the study consisted of the elderly aged 60 and above, and quantitative methodologies were applied. Purposive sampling was employed in this investigation. Acceptance criteria for a sample of elderly persons aged 60 and above who can understand and complete the survey. Percentage and mean were utilised in the descriptive analysis.
