Abstract

The article intends to expose the results of the extension activities carried out between the years of 2015 and 2017 in the Home of the Elderly Frei Fabiano de Cristo, located in Amambai / MS. There were recreational activities and interviews with the target audience, as well as the reading of bibliographical references. It was noticed that, under a heterogeneity of terms and labels, such as the Third Age, elderly, old age, “better age”, there is also a heterogeneity of social, physical and psychological conditions. It has been realized that getting older process, although often characterized only by the existence of physical and biological changes, is also related to several of cultural, political and economic issues. In general, we could analyze the social representations that these elders transmit about old age.
