Resumo: | The global trend of ageing populations is present in Brazil. Brazilian society is going through an intensive process of transformation, where young adults are increasingly fewer, thus raising the question of who will take care of the elderly in the 21st Century? There is an urgent need to establish care networks for the elderly, covering primary care, including care with housing (Healthy Housing), as well as to ensure access to secondary and tertiary levels of care, providing early diagnoses and rapid access to treatment. This article reports two Brazilian experiences: the restructuring of a shelter for elderly indigents, with 500 elderly residents in Rio de Janeiro, which involved a broad process of humanization, with strong physical restructuring of the buildings that dated from 1930; and the process of organizing the care referral line for the elderly within the Conceição Hospital Group, in Rio Grande do Sul State, which included a health care complex with diverse health units, encompassing all stages of care: from primary care to the most complex hospital treatment. |

A sociedade brasileira passa por intenso processo de transformação, onde adultos jovens aparecem cada vez em menor número, cabendo a reflexão: quem vai cuidar dos nossos idosos no século XXI? A estruturação de redes de atenção à pessoa idosa é urgente, abrangendo cuidados primários, incluindo cuidados com a moradia: habitação saudável, garantindo acesso aos níveis secundário e terciário de cuidados, proporcionando diagnóstico precoce e rápido acesso ao tratamento. Este artigo relata duas experiências brasileiras: a reestruturação de um abrigo de idosos indigentes, com 500 internos no Rio de Janeiro, onde foi realizado um amplo processo de humanização, com forte componente reestruturação física das edificações de 1930; e o processo de organização da linha de cuidado de atenção ao idoso no Grupo Hospitalar Conceição, no Rio Grande do Sul, complexo de atenção à saúde com unidades de saúde diversificadas, englobando todos os momentos da atenção: dos cuidados primários ao mais complexo tratamento hospitalar.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2010-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4489Reports in Public Health; Vol. 26 No. 7 (2010): JulyCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 26 n. 7 (2010): Julho1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4489/9149https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4489/9150Pessôa, Luisa ReginaFerasso, MarcosVargas, Lilia MariaFerla, Alcindo Antonioinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:28:11Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/4489Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:05:10.767404Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true |

The global trend of ageing populations is present in Brazil. Brazilian society is going through an intensive process of transformation, where young adults are increasingly fewer, thus raising the question of who will take care of the elderly in the 21st Century? There is an urgent need to establish care networks for the elderly, covering primary care, including care with housing (Healthy Housing), as well as to ensure access to secondary and tertiary levels of care, providing early diagnoses and rapid access to treatment. This article reports two Brazilian experiences: the restructuring of a shelter for elderly indigents, with 500 elderly residents in Rio de Janeiro, which involved a broad process of humanization, with strong physical restructuring of the buildings that dated from 1930; and the process of organizing the care referral line for the elderly within the Conceição Hospital Group, in Rio Grande do Sul State, which included a health care complex with diverse health units, encompassing all stages of care: from primary care to the most complex hospital treatment. |
