The research aimed to identify the needs of the elderly within the home, identify the health, psychological, and social problems they face within the home, and explore the role of social services in meeting their needs. The research questions were as follows: What are the needs of the elderly within the home? What are the health, psychological, and social problems of the elderly? What is the role of social services in meeting their needs? This research is considered a descriptive exploratory study, as it used the social survey method to obtain information that provides a clear picture of the research community. The research community consisted of (06) elderly people registered at (Dar Al-Wafa for Elderly Care/Misurata). A single method was used to collect data, namely (interviews), which contained (46) questions. The research lasted from (12/17/2023), when the interview was conducted, to (12/27/2023), when the analysis was conducted. The results showed that the elderly women inside the home do not need anything, and that most of their needs are met within the home. Furthermore, most of the elderly women cannot walk alone, which is why there is a need for the assistance of the home's staff.
