When elderly people want to live in their own homes, an important issue arises: loneliness. Loneliness is a common problem among older adults and has become increasingly common in recent years. Loneliness not only affects psychological well-being, but also negatively affects physical health, increasing the likelihood of illness and death.When people live longer, they are more likely to experience health problems such as physical weakness, cognitive decline, and chronic diseases. Weakness among older people creates a state of vulnerability that increases the risk of adverse health outcomes, leading to reduced daily activities and the need for long-term care.This study aims to develop healthy lifestyle behaviors, reduce loneliness levels and increase social support capacity of elderly people living alone at home.The research was planned as a quasi-experimental research. The research population consists of elderly people living alone at home who are registered to the Elderly and Home Care Unit of a Municipality of a province. Elderly people who are registered to a home care unit, live alone, and are over the age of 65 and agree to work will be included in the research.
