Abstract:

The weak training to understand the demands of elderly people in Long-Term Care Facilities raises questions about the supply and challenges for comprehensive care in Primary Health Care. The aim was to analyze the perception of professionals about the potentialities and challenges of integration between Long-Term Care Facilities for the Elderly and Primary Health Care (PHC) in providing care to the elderly. This is an exploratory and qualitative research with 18 professionalsthe PHC health team. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using the Collective Subject Discourse. The work process presents challenges: reception, problem solving, procedures offered, gaps in the organization. The potentialities are highlighted: priority in care and institutional monitoring. The challenges contradict the potentialities: lack of priority, difficulty in care and interaction between teams. The organization and coordination of care is suggested, based on the needs identified, considering the principles and guidelines of the SUS and the Statute of the Elderly. Understanding this integration can be explored by expanding the study to other scenarios and subjects.
