Living pattern is one the important aspects of the wellbeing of the elderly. Elderly people are dependent on others to get care and support in their later life.The care and support of the elderly can be linked to their residence, that is, their living patterns or the living arrangement. Living patterns are influenced by a variety of factors including number and availability of children and other relatives, kinship patterns of the society, location of household, marital status, financial status etc. The present paper intends to study the pattern of living in the district of Darrang in Assam to assess the status of the living arrangement elderly with some of the selected socio-economic variables like age, education, economic dependency, place of residence etc. The study finds that familial support is still prevalent and children are observed to be the main source of care and support to the elderly parents. But, living with children does not always ensure care and support for the elderly.
