Este trabalho trata de uma realidade que vem surgindo: o idoso, perante o processo de institucionalização que passa por várias etapas, deixa sua casa e passa a conviver com regras, um novo lugar e pessoas desconhecidas. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar o que esse idoso sente, percebe e deseja diante de todas essas mudanças, evidenciando os sentimentos que o envolvem. Observa-se um predomínio de sujeitos do sexo feminino, entre 70 a 80 anos, solteiros e investiga-se os motivos que os levaram a ficar sozinhos. O presente estudo traz relatos dos idosos sobre o processo de institucionalização, o que permite tecer algumas considerações. Apesar de tanta tecnologia e evolução, ainda existe um grupo de pessoas que, sem apoio da sociedade e da família, quer viver, ser feliz, tem sentimentos, desejos, percebe que seu espaço diminui e, sem alternativa, vê restar para si a institucionalização.Palavras-chave: Idoso. Instituição de Longa Permanência para Idosos. Sentimento.
