          Abstract

          Este artigo centra-se no tema assistência a idosos dependentes por doença crônica e degenerativa, e chama a atenção para o papel do cuidador em casa. A recomendação para que os cuidados aos idosos dependentes sejam desenvolvidos no domicílio está ganhando mais força, muitas vezes de maneira incauta por parte dos profissionais de saúde. Delegar à família a função de cuidar necessita de clareza sobre a estrutura familiar, o tipo de cuidado a ser executado, o tempo necessário, as características da doença e o acompanhamento profissional. Em países onde o envelhecimento populacional se deu mais lentamente do que no Brasil, os cuidados e os cuidadores familiares são objeto de políticas e programas de Saúde Pública.

          Translated abstract

          This article focuses on health care for dependent seniors in relation to chronic illnesses. Expectations about family support for the dependent elderly are related to the role of family caregivers, but care requires support from the public and private sectors. Governments throughout the developed countries are examining their role in the provision of social welfare programs, especially in the public health sector. To recommend home care and family assistance, the context of changing family structures, the type of care needed, and professional follow-up must be taken into account.
