In order to help female divorcées or widows at midlife or in later life age well, efficiently deal with later life issues, and take a proactive approach to their later life plans, a LOHAS program for the elderly is launched. Firstly, a needs assessment survey to identify priority needs of the elderly is first conducted on 57 female divorcées or widows at midlife or in later life; the results show that elderly women place a premium on medical and health insurance, where to live, after-death arrangements, social support systems, and inner resources. With a view to meeting these needs, courses on medical and health insurance planning, financial planning, hospice care, life and death, social support networks, and inner resources development are provided in the LOHAS program, with immediate goals of facilitating successful aging and developing a common learning platform and a long-term vision of building a support network for these elderly women. The research findings indicate the effectiveness of the courses, including 1) Anti-aging tips, 2) LOHAS memoirs drawing, 3) Life notes albums creating (which contributes to a better understanding of one’s aging process, thus allowing proper self-adjustment to one’s later life), and 4) LOHAS pledges making (which facilitates positive cognition of one’s later life). Also, in terms of the program implementation, the feedback and reflections from those who carry out the program include: 1) They learn by involving themselves in the action program, verifying the effectiveness of the program through ongoing experience; 2) They are strongly motivated by positive response and satisfaction of the service users; 3)Group-based learning allows the elderly participants to learn from each other, thus achieving good results; 4) They observe changes of the participants’ attitude from unwillingness to talk to openly discussing and accepting one’s aging process; 5) They remain flexible about service strategies in order to increase the visibility of aging issues. As a result, the following suggestions are proposed by this study: 1) Growth group activities are highly effective in helping the elderly cope with their later life, and female divorcées or widows at midlife or in later life should be offered continuous help with building positive cognition of one’s later life; 2) In order to elicit positive response from the elderly, social workers need to receive professional training and remain flexible about adjustments to service strategies according to personal needs and situations; 3) In action research, reflections and strategic adjustments at each stage should be strengthened in order to provide appropriate service.
