Abstract: Falls are a major public health problem worldwide, with high prevalence and serious health consequences. This study sought to understand the subjects' perception of falls and the inherent risks at home. It is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study carried out in the research-action modality. The interview was used as an instrument with subsequent transcription and interpretation of the data. The method of analysis of the collected material was the Thematic Analysis. Participated in this study 7 individuals with mean age of 60 years, 70% were female. We observed that most of the interviewees presented reports of falls and most of them occurred in the home environment. The subjects perceived the fall as a real risk in their homes, recognizing it as an important factor for the loss of autonomy and the ability to perform activities of daily living, dependence, etc. Linked to this, fear was present in most speeches. In view of this, multiprofessional health intervention becomes paramount in order to prioritize preventive actions and to address the biopsychosocial aspects of the subjects, giving them the physical and mental conditions to live and grow old with quality of life, without fear and / or negative feelings that hinder their life in society.
