Stroke sufferers need support from people around them, especially family, who are needed to serve sufferers so they don't lead to depression. Family support consists of information support, service support, instrumental support and emotional support so that it is hoped that the family can help the patient's needs so that the patient can lead to an independent direction. Method: This scientific paper uses a descriptive method with a quantitative approach using a measuring instrument in the form of a questionnaire. The population in this study was the elderly with stroke in the working area of ??the UPTD Kesmas I Gianyar with 36 samples. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling.
