In this research we developed a tool to assess the needs of the elderly at home population by evaluating their physical,psychological,and socio-environmental aspects.This self assessment tool,composed of two hundred questions covering the various subject areas of empowerment,was designed for the elderly population to measure their own strengths in the areas of their abilities,desires,needs,and self-confidence.The tool also works as an important element in the development of an algorithm represented by the subjective appeals of the elderly about their current situations.
