The research examined their mental resilience and physical well-being through seven dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, environmental, and occupational well-being. Using a qualitative approach with a non-probability sampling method, the study selected 20 older adults from Quezon Province. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed that this group of population has diverse experiences of living alone that vary from positive and challenging effects on the different dimensions of wellness and on their quality of life. Likewise, the study identified emerging themes in terms of influencing factors on living alone, namely: Self-Reliance and productivity, Challenges in performing activities in daily living, Being Emotionally Resilient, Adaptable, and Having the Ability to Maintain a Sense of Purpose despite Life’s Challenges, Maintaining Social Support and Connections with others, Finding Purpose and Relationship with others, Strengthened Spirituality in Navigating Life's Challenges, Maintaining Positive Environment, Financial and Economic Security. These results were instrumental in creating a proposed wellness program titled “S.O.L.O. - Suporta at Programa para magbigay ng Oportunidad sa mga Lolo at Lola tungo sa Maayos na Kalidad ng Buhay para sa Organisadong Pamumuhay” to address the diverse needs of the older adults living alone.
