The present study is as a part of Ph.D. programme under The Tamilnadu Dr. M.G.R Medical University, Chennai. A descriptive study was conducted to assess the level of anxiety among elderly. Totally 30 elderly were selected as a sample size by using non probability convenience sampling technique. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) was used to assess the level of anxiety among elderly. Results: Majority 22(74%) of the samples had severe anxiety and 8 (26%) of the samples had moderate level of anxiety. Recommendation: Anxiety becomes problematic when it disturbs the activities of daily functioning and wellbeing, quality of life and even normal physical and mental health of a person. Many of the elderly people disregard anxiety and refuse to solicit support due to mortification and a lack of incomprehension about lunacy.Care takers should give special training on measures of reducing anxiety among elderly during their oldage period.
