Changes in the aging make a call to transform the managed care for the elderly living alone. Objective: To know the perception of the family on care to seniors who live alone. Methodology: Qualitative study using analysis of referential discourse from social critic and concepts of the theory of Bourdieu. There were four discussion groups grouping the participants by gender and educational level. Results: The participants consider that the social and family network may act on disability. Concerned about the way in which the older person meets your needs. Stand out as key support in the delivery of care. Share the idea that older women are better suited than men to live in solitude. Women caregivers tend to intervene early with problems. Men expect and if they can delegate. Conclusion: The family questions the benefits of coexistence. Vocational guidance in the care is scarce. Social services should improve their accessibility.
