The traditional conceptualisation of resilience focuses on the positive adaptation after facing significant adversity primarily amongst the younger population. However, in today’s times, with the perspective being shifted towards understanding the causes contributing to wellbeing of the geriatric population, resilience is found to be an important contributing factor. Due to this, there is an enhanced interest in understanding and measuring the concept of resilience amongst the elderly populations and its implications on wellbeing in the later years. Resilience is an important contributing factor for resilience as it is understood to maintain quality of life of elderly individuals. In this paper, we attempt to trace the path of geriatric resilience research, additionally; we make an attempt to examine the geriatric resilience research done in the Indian context. This paper is an in-depth, systematic review of the study done on understanding resilience amongst the elderly seeks to situate resilience in the twilight years. This paper is unique in regards that it charts the development of geriatric resilience and explored its implications for planning the wellbeing of geriatric population
