Introduction: Aging is a natural process that involves adapting routine, diet and health care. Another fact is the emergence of diseases related to the process, such as cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, in addition to the weakening of muscles and bones. Therefore, it is clear that the elderly need constant care offered by nursing care for the elderly. Objective: To learn about how nursing care is provided to the elderly. Method: Integrative Literature Review. It was carried out through a search in databases available at the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Portal Periódicos Da Capes (CAPES) and Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS). To extract the information, the content analysis method was used for interpretation through categorization. Results: A total of 620 records were identified on data platforms related to the topic, with 288 records identified in CAPES, 115 records in SciELO and 217 in LILACS. Discussion: The categories emerged from the findings: Nursing care in the context of primary health care; Nursing care in the hospital context. Thus, highlighting that nurses must consider the vulnerabilities of the elderly. Combining scientific knowledge about aging with the reality of patients so that it comes closer to providing care as recommended by public policies. Conclusion: Within the results, the nurse's actions must seek to promote health, holistic care, aiming for therapeutic care to maintain health based on humanization.
