This work it is an event that is emerging, the growth of the elderly population worldwide and the lack of society and family in this process. The old process of institutionalization before it passes through various stages of processing speed (without any freedom to decide about their lives) leaves his home, a family and goes to live with rules, a new place with unfamiliar people. The aim of this study was to identify the causes of institutionalization, by checking their real needs and demonstrating the strategies used by the elderly to cope with such change. This brings important stories of the elderly about this whole process of institutionalization where one can conclude that there are multiple factors that lead to the institution and verify that the end of their lives could not even opine on what they were deciding.
