The aging process is a progressive and natural phenomenon that implies biological, psychological and social changes in the individual, repercussions in multiple dimensions, including the health-disease process and ways of seeing and being in the world. The Family Health Strategy is the privileged locus for the production of integral health care, in view of its proximity to the social reality of the subjects and the bond with the community. The production of care is related to the ways of knowing and doing in daily health, maintaining direct relationships with the work process, permeating human relations, subjectivities, social values and the horizontal worker-user relationship. The social representations of the professionals about in the production of care to the elderly are revealed through decision-making and their daily practice in health, since their senses, social and cultural values direct their practice. This is a qualitative research, exploratory approach, a single case study, with the objective of understanding the social representations of the production of health care to the elderly in the perspective of the professionals of the Family Health Strategy, having as theoretical framework The Theory of Social Representations of Moscovici. The study was submitted to the Ethics Committee in Research involving Human beings, being evaluated and approved. The study participants were thirteen health professionals included in the Family Health Strategy in the City of Feira de Santana-BA. The technique of data collection was the semi-structured interview. The methods used for data analysis were similarity analysis, with the help of IRAMUTEQ software, and Bardin content analysis. The categories seized after data analysis and interpretation, were: "Being old" in the conception of professionals of the Family Health Strategy; Looks at the production of care for the elderly: the subject as the "object" of intervention or "center" of health care ?; Interface between a family and a family health team: Possibilities to (re) signify the health care practices of the elderly. The social representations of health professionals of the ESF seized in the study allow say that the production of care for the elderly is anchored in the technicist perspective of treatment production in detriment of care, which requires intersubjectivity and relational technologies. In order to transform care production into something familiar, ESF health professionals construct concepts and manifest them in practices based on the hegemonic biomedical model, which values hard and light-hard technologies rather than light technologies, disregarding the intersubjectivity of subjects.
