Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Currently, the number of Long-Term Care Institutions for the Elderly (LTCF) has been increasing in Brazil, presenting a great challenge for public health systems due to the aging of the population, being a significant portion of Brazilian society (Ayoub, 2024;  De Oliveira et al., 2021). According to Ayoub (2024), in Brazil, the profile of older adults living in LTCFs consists predominantly of women, with little education, victims of abandonment, the presence of family conflicts, and the absence of a retirement plan, as well as older adults who already have poor cognitive function and are dependent to perform basic activities of daily living.
