“…Considering the context of demographic transition caused by an aging population and the emerging needs of the elderly in Brazil, families are increasingly choosing LTCFs as a care option for such individuals. However, educational institutions and the LTCFs themselves have not kept up with these changes, lacking both a strategic agenda focused on the processes of aging and the production of technologies that can meet the needs of the country 10,11 . From an academic perspective, there remains little focus on elder care in the curriculum 12 , while in the health services there have been problems with the implementation of the National Policy on Elderly Health 13 .…”

Objective: to analyze how care is performed, understand the contributions of previous experience to professional practice in Long-Term Care Facilities for the Elderly (LTCFs), and recognize the challenges and propositions for professional training and the delivery of care in LTCFs. Method: an exploratory qualitative study was carried out in two stages with 33 professionals and managers of a long-term care facility in a municipality in the state of São Paulo. Analysis was performed using Collective Subject Discourse and Thematic Content Analysis (first and second stage, respectively). Results: It was found that, in the views of health professionals and managers, the quality of care is linked to basic needs and the training of professionals does not consider the specificities of gerontological care. They therefore reproduce a fragmented and mechanical work process. Conclusion: The results highlight the need to revisit courses in the area of health in order to understand their approach to training in elderly care.
