- Abstract
Objective: to investigate the social support networks of elderly people with disabilities and the innovative care technologies implemented for elderly people with disabilities and caregiver support. Method: exploratory-descriptive qualitative approach, carried out from April to October 2016. Twenty-six non-governmental institutions participated. A semi-structured interview was applied; Thematic Analysis for data treatment. Results: It was evidenced that strategies such as groups of coexistence, support groups, art as therapy and leisure activities can be considered care technologies. It was highlighted how families are being prepared to care for elderly people with disabilities, since a portion does not have a caregiver or presents an insufficient family support network. Conclusion: there was a need to reflect on the expansion of services aimed at the social integration of the elderly with disabilities, and the creation of day centers for this clientele, one of them.
