The sample was 100 respondents aged 65 and above. The research design used in the study was a correlational research design. Spearman's rank order correlation coefficient was used to analyze data. The findings revealed that: there is a significant relationship between social support and coping strategies; there is no relationship between coping strategies and psychological wellbeing; and there is no relationship between social support and psychological wellbeing.
