The present article was elaborated in the main interest of knowing the reflection of nurses concerning the humanization in the provided care to the Senior Long Permanence Institutions considering it to be "Nursing that sets the tone in care humanized to the institutionalized elderly". The analysis of two interviews given by nurses showed that "humanization" essentially comprises the affective and effective practice of caring and that, for them, "humanizing" the institutional space means making it favorable to the well-being (health) of both who act there as those who live there; on the other hand, the walls of most institutions remain as barriers that isolate residents and make them unfit for everyday social life; it should be considered that the legislation does not guarantee, in the management of ILPIs, that the technical leader is qualified in the area of aging; many ILPIs have turned into poor quality Geriatric Clinics, with disqualified professionals offering palliative care in inappropriate places, preventing the elderly from receiving the "humanized" assumption. Therefore, it is essential to have clear inclusion criteria and definition of service on paper, with honest records of what is offered to the elderly. What can you expect from the service: maximum or minimum? Who will be a resident?, and even what level of care requirement is essential?Keywords: Humanization; LTCI; Care; Welfare; Nursing; Elderly.
