As the number of elderly people in Indonesia increases, the need for health services also increases. To meet these needs, an elderly posyandu was formed. The implementation of posyandu for the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic did not run as routinely as it should. Like at the elderly posyandu in Padang Luas Village, during the COVID-19 pandemic, elderly posyandu was only carried out 3 times out of the target of 12 times in 2020. Apart from that, the number of elderly people coming to the posyandu also decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the results of interviews, it was found that several elderly posyandu cadres had never received training. Apart from that, during the initial data collection, it was found that cadres were unable to answer questions correctly regarding elderly posyandu and were unable to perform elderly posyandu service skills.
