Low utilization of Posyandu Elderly services in Deli Serdang Regency, even though the number of elderly continues to increase. Only 5-10% of the total elderly population uses the service, influenced by inadequate service quality, the perception that Posyandu is only for the sick, and minimal understanding of its benefits. The purpose of this study is the Influence of the Role of Students, Village Heads, Cadres and Peers on the Utilization of the Elderly Love House at the Integrated Health Post. This study is quantitative cross-sectional research involving 192 elderly respondents from a population of 7,883 registered at the elderly health post in Lubuk Pakam District, using stratified random sampling and analyzed with the chi-square test at an alpha level of 0.05. This study reveals that the utilization of Rumah Kasih by the elderly is significantly influenced by the roles of cadres, village heads, and peers, while student involvement remains suboptimal. Notably, emotional and informational support from families also plays a crucial role. These findings highlight the need for innovative collaboration among stakeholders to enhance access to and utilization of Rumah Kasih, emphasizing a holistic approach to elderly care that integrates community support.
