Thus, power will help in planning actions, aiming at improving its performance and consequently, improve the quality of life for seniors. To that end, semistructured interviews were conducted with thirteen professionals who work in groups living in the city of Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul Within that set out to search, we found that the design of the profile of professionals in support groups, to seniors tend to be constructed by a sum of constraints. Among them, the academic training, which seems to define the type as well as how to conduct activities in working with the elderly. However, one may add still other aspects that influence the performance of these professionals, among whom there are additional environmental factors, the society in which it appears, cultural, ethical, historical, economic, bureaucratic, genetic, living with the elderly, how they built build your knowledge of human aging, how the professional perceives, sees the working groups, inter-relationships with the elderly living in groups. And these factors do not walk alone, they are interrelated.
