SUMMARY:

The Long-Term Care Institutions for the Elderly (LTCF) are a type of home assistance, collective and with longitudinal care, aimed at people aged 60 or over, with or without family support, where they must live in conditions of freedom , dignity and citizenship. However, in the history of the institutionalization of old age, these LTCFs were also known as asylums that were sometimes configured as spaces for the exercise of Christian charity and for the protection of individual and family poverty, with rules to limit and homogenize the activities of sheltered elderly people.

In parallel, the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform is strengthened by the principle of deinstitutionalization of people with mental disorders, who once lived in nursing homes / asylums, where they were deprived of social and family life, subjected to physical and chemical restraint, which can be seen, similarly, in some ILPI in Brazil. In this sense, questions arise about the care offered, whose reflection focuses on the process of asylum for institutionalized elderly people. The objective is to analyze the process of care provided to institutionalized elderly people, from the creation of LTCI to the present day. This research has a mixed approach, descriptive and exploratory and was carried out in public and philanthropic ILPI in Rio Grande do Norte, registered in the Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS) and recognized by the Health Surveillance. The fieldwork was carried out in the first half of 2019, using an instrument of direct observation, application of structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with actors involved in the foundation of the LTCF.

The analysis of the data raised aspects that cross and condition the care offered to residents. Thus, the discussions are organized into five chapters, namely: 1- Profile of Long Term Care Institutions for the Elderly and residents' quality of life; 2- Memories and historical itineraries of welcoming elderly people in Long-Term Institutions; 3- Care in the light of the social and health needs of institutionalized elderly people; 4- The institutionalization of the elderly: between curative and alienating care; and, 5- Live or coexist? Challenges and possibilities of care for the elderly in Long Term Care Institutions. Therefore, the history of LTCF care shows a discontinuity in the dialogue between the social and health care networks, producing the need for transformation in the long-term care of the elderly.
