Abstract

This study aims to analyze a private Home Care service from the perspective of the formation of the Care Model. Focus groups and semistructured interviews were chosen as instruments for data collection. Interviews were held among middle-level nursing workers and service coordinators. Empiric data were organized by means of the Collective Subject Discourse methodology. It was disclosed that the recognition of the constituent elements of the care model among the social agents involved in the project is essential to negotiate, unite and instrumentalize the possibility to attend different interests. Another factor that stood out was the power of Home Care to be a tool for reviewing the health/illness/care process concept and, thus, for promoting the incorporation of values that lead to behavioral changes, moving towards a care model that is committed to the establishment of a welcoming relation, characterized by commitment and responsibility for the health of clients.
