Latar belakang : Jumlah lansia di Indonesia diproyeksikan terus meningkat. Banyaknya jumlah lansia tersebut, meningkatkan kejadian penuaan sebesar 42,09% sehingga rentan mengalami masalah kesehatan baik dari fisik, psikologis, sosial, maupun spiritual. Kompleksnya risiko masalah yang dialami lansia mengakibatkan lansia cenderung membutuhkan waktu lama untuk pengobatan dan biaya yang tinggi. Salah satu alternatif kemudahan pelayanan kesehatan bagi lansia adalah home care agar perawatan dapat dilanjutkan di rumah dan menekan biaya yang tinggi. Tenaga kesehatan yang terlibat terdiri dari dokter, perawat, ahli gizi, dan fisioterapis. Saat ini belum banyak penelitian yang berfokus pada home care di Indonesia.

Sampel pada penelitian ini adalah rekam medis lansia home care dengan jumlah 123 yang telah dipilah sesuai kriteria penelitian menggunakan total sampling.

Pengumpulan data penelitian dilakukan di RSUP Dr. Sardjito pada bulan April-Mei 2024. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis univariat berupa statistik deskriptif.

Hasil: Masalah kesehatan fisik lansia paling banyak berkaitan dengan penyakit jantung/sirkulasi sebesar 63 lansia (51,2%) dan sebagian besar yaitu 38 lansia ditangani oleh perawat, dokter, dan fisioterapis.
