Abstract

This study aims at reporting the experience of establishing the Group for Elderly Care (GRASI) in an outpatient clinic at a General University Hospital (Hospital de Clínicas - Universidade Estadual de Campinas), with the goal of elaborating and developing an educative program to elderly and their families. The program approached topics requested by the clients, such as increased risk for falls, changes in memory, sleep and vision, as well as issues considered important by the researchers, such as self-care, emotional aspects, senescence and senility. The experience was evaluated as a significant contribution to elderly daily life as well as a good opportunity for acquiring new knowledge and new friendships.
