This study questioned the reasons why the elderly persons who remained in peace and their basic thoughts about peace. The process of modernization offers a number of possibilities to the individual, such as freedom, but it also leads to many social problems, such as loneliness, the dissolution of family ties and abandonment. These problems leave deeper traces in late-modern society. It is believed that it is possible to consider peacefulness as a reflection of this process. In this context, it has been shown that almost all of the persons interviewed in this study, followed by the quality research approach in a special peaceful area, are placed in the peaceful area as a result of a compulsory preference. In addition, the persons interviewed are very pleased with the possibilities offered in the peace hall, but it is clear that the process of settlement in the peace hall is linked to the value given by their close relatives, including their children, and that the peace hall is seen as an obstacle to happiness. Some people have been found to summarize this situation with phrases such as "to be thrown into the corner of peace", "a step before death". It has been observed that the old people who remain in peace have a feeling of abandonment, the weakening of family connections and the sharing of the same environment with people with similar health problems are effective in the formation of the perception of negative feelings.
