This study examined the relationship between perceived social support from family, friends, and significant others (nursing home staff) and life satisfaction among the residents of a government nursing home for the elderly. Forty-four residents aged between 61 and 74 years from Panti Sosial Tresna Werdha Budi Mulia government nursing home, who were in the young-old developmental stage, participated in this study. These residents were classified as ‘abandoned’ elderly as they either had no family or had families who rarely contacted with them. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) developed by Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet, and Farley (1988) was used to measure perceived social support from family, friends, and significant others, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffin (1985) was used to measure life satisfaction. This quantitative study followed a correlational design. The accidental sampling technique was used, and data analysis was done using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (p) and Multiple Regression. Our results showed a significant moderate positive correlation between life satisfaction and perceived social support from significant others (nursing home staff) (r = 0.475, p = 0.001) and from family (r = 0.354, p = 0.018). We found no correlation between perceived social support from friends and life satisfaction (r = 0.281, p = 0.065). Future research distinguishing between the elderly who still have families with those who do not would be useful.
