This study aims to determine the effect of selective-care assistance on the ability of Activity Daily Living for the elderly. The sample in this study is the elderly living in the Tresna Werdha Social Home, with approximately 64 people. The research instrument used is the Barthel index to assess functional abilities for the elderly. The design of this research is a Quasi Experiment without a control group that was analyzed using the Paired T-Test. Based on the results of the Paired T-Test, it is found that the t value was 0.001 and the probability value (Sig.) was 0.05, so H0 is invalid. Thus, it can be concluded that the role of caregiver in self-care assistance can increase ADL (Activity Daily Living) ability for the elderly. It is evidently seen in the average value of ADL for the elderly after Care Giver is given Self Care Assistance training is 18.23. It is higher than the average value before Caregiver was given Self Care Assistance training.
