Abstract

The development of a paradigm in which the government no longer the only actor in charge of public affairs opens greater opportunities for the elderly to get attention. The elderly become a group with vulnerable conditions, from physical, social, mental, and spiritual aspects. The elderly school was formed through collaboration as a form of caring for the elderly in Bandung City. The elderly school is intended to improve the knowledge and behavior of the elderly towards health, increase the index of happiness, improve the quality of life and productivity, and increase independence from physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the factors that drive collaboration, the collaborative process, and the benefits of collaboration. The research method used is a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. The results show that the collaboration in the elderly school program is driven by the same goals and interests related to empowering the elderly, having appropriate resources with their fields and functions, and getting benefits from their involvement. Then, the collaborative process begins with a dialogue to build trust among stakeholders to build commitment to this program. Collaboration in senior schools is not only beneficial for the elderly but also for the actors involved.
