Objective The present study aimed to explore the desires and wishes of older adults residing in Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCFs) regarding end-of-life terminality. Method This was a descriptive and exploratory qualitative research, involving 18 older adults from two LTCFs in a city in the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil. Data collection took place from March to May 2022 through semi-structured interviews and using the "cards on the table" technique. The data were subjected to discursive textual analysis. Results Five categories emerged: Family welcoming and acceptance: death in LTCFs or at home and the fear of dying alone; End-of-a-life cycle: a moment of personal reflection, farewell, affection, and faith; Preservation of the human dignity of older adults who are institutionalized in the terminal phase of life; Not being pressured and not being a burden to the family: desires related to the actions of professionals and family members toward the older adult; and Maintenance of senses and awareness of death: desire for a beneficial experience with pain control, purification, and surrendering of life through faith. Conclusion The desires and wishes expressed were related to broad aspects of life. Understanding these desires has emerged as an opportunity for healthcare professionals to introduce topics related to finitude, allowing these older adults to have their voices heard, felt, and respected.

Ressalta-se que os desejos e as vontades da pessoa idosa institucionalizada necessitam ser considerados.…”

Introduction: This article addresses the complex composition of the diagnosis of probable dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease, as well as the course of action necessary to access the subjects. Objective: to analyze the trajectory of the disease and/or care through re-reading reference materials for the pathology, considering the trajectory of the disease and care. Methodology: The literature review focused on the phenomenon of dementia and the care of elderly patients with Alzheimer's, their caregivers, and family members. The research supports the writing that was carried out through observations and experiences with the elderly and families who attend the institution Day Center for the Elderly (DCE). This institution receives elderly people with this diagnosis and offers day care through an individual plan related to personal care, medications, food, and therapeutic and memory activities aimed at elderly patients with Alzheimer's. Results and discussion: Next, the care itineraries adopted by the families with the mediation of the CDI, inserted in a broad and unequal context to gender in Brazil, were analyzed. From there, we start with the descriptions and interpretations of the so-called "perceptual dilemmas", faced by those with dementia, both in terms of memory and reasoning disorientations and in terms of everyday skills with their own body. Conclusion: After defining the particularities of subjects with dementia, an analysis of the inter-subjective relationships of care has been proposed, perpetrated in the constant exercise of the caregiver in establishing perceptual alterities to understand the demands of the other to meet them.
