Many people associate old age with changes in the functions of the body or body functions but many do not recognize the fact that there are also emotional changes that come with age. As people grow old, their emotional needs also increase. Understanding more about the emotional needs of the elderly can be a great step towards helping to provide the right support. The study used the concurrent triangulation research design. The sample comprised of 250 aged persons purposively selected from 4 subdivisions of the Bamboutos division and 16 social workers purposively selected from the social centers of the same area. The instruments used were a questionnaire and an interview. A null hypothesis was formulated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 0.00 level of significance and bi-variate regression was used to test the variables with significant impact on the well-being of aged persons. The findings show that emotional support has a significant effect on the well-being of aged persons in Bamboutos. It was recommended that when providing emotional support to aged persons focus should be on the quality and not just the quantity, so it’s not enough to have people around but people who will actually support them. Also each family, community and country should organize emotional support given situations were by aged person always have someone to provide this support like family members, social worker, counselors, psychologists.
