—— This study aimed to investigate the quality of life and challenges faced by senior citizens in the rural communities in Pangasinan. This study utilized a quantitative descriptive research design. The researcher selected the municipalities with the largest populations, middlemost populations, and smallest populations with 379 senior citizens from the selected municipalities in Pangasinan namely Malasiqui, Urbiztondo and Santo Tomas. Senior citizens generally have a good quality of life, but face challenges in physical health, technology usage, and social support. Understanding these relationships can help policymakers, healthcare providers, and community organizations develop targeted interventions and support services for seniors. A survival kit and infographics were developed to enhance the quality of life of senior citizens in a rural community in Pangasinan, consisting of survival strategies. This helps improve their overall well-being and contributes to inclusive decision-making. The study suggests recommendations for improving the quality of life for senior citizens in rural Pangasinan communities. These include providing healthcare accessibility through mobile clinics or telemedicine, establishing social support programs, collaborating with local organizations, encouraging financial security and social inclusion, and implementing a survival kit and infographics to enhance their quality of life. These measures aim to improve the overall quality of life for these elderly residents. Keywords — Senior Citizens, Quality of Life, Living Conditions, Life Challenges
