Proses  menua  menimbulkan  permasalahan  baik  secara  fisik,  biologis, mental maupun sosial ekonomi. Lansia merasa terbatas aktivitasnya, sering sakit, lingkungan kurang bersahabat, dan tidak percaya diri dengan penampilan fisiknya dan ini menjadi tanda rendahnya kualitas hidup lanjut usia karena mereka tidak menikmati masa tuanya.  Hasil  survey menggunakan  Mini  Mental  Status  Exam (MMSE)  diperoleh  data  bahwa  lansia  sebanyak  45  orang  yang  terdaftar  di Posyandu Setya Manunggal III Dusun Lempuyangan Bulan Januari 2020 menunjukkan yang mengalami penurunan kognitif sedang sebanyak 13 orang, penurunan kognitif berat sebanyak 5 orang. Hasil wawancara dengan kader lansia didapatkan data yang banyak mengalami pikun dikarenakan lansia hanya di rumah tanpa  adanya  aktivitas  lain  karena  adanya  keterbatasan  mobilitas  fisik.  Kader sendiri  oleh  penanggunggjawab  BKL  (Bina  Keluarga  Lansia)  dari  kecamatan Bergas sudah diarahkan untuk memberikan edukasi kepada lansia dan keluarga, baik itu bisa berupa permainan ataupun memberikan pelatihan kerajinan tangan, namun karena keterbatasan informasi, minimnya dana operasional, dan kurangnya kemampuan kader menjadikan program tersebut hanya wacana. Analisis fenomena tersebut menjadi latar belakang tim pengabdian masyarakat Akper Kesdam IV/Diponegoro bekerjasama dengan Puskesmas Bergas untuk melaksanakan kegiatan bertema, “ Penerapan Brain Gym, Puzzle Therapy, dan Handycraft Training  sebagai  Upaya  Meningkatkan  Kualitas  Hidup  Lansia  Dusun Lempuyangan, Gebugan, Kab.Semarang”.
