- Abstract
Knowing the perceptions of homeless elderly people about the aging process. Descriptive and exploratory qualitative study conducted through semi-structured interview. Nineteen homeless elderly people located in the city of Porto Alegre participated. Data collection took place from October 2015 to January 2016 and were carried out in social shelters and on public roads. For analysis, the discursive textual analysis technique was used. The categories of analysis were highlighted: aging on the streets, damage to physical and mental health and repercussions at work. The trajectories of violence, vulnerabilities and deprivation of fundamental rights are portrayed in the experiences of elderly people who survive on the margins of society. Aging on the streets exposes the elderly to sub-human conditions, impacting social, health and life conditions, requiring resolute public policies for the humane care of the elderly.
