%X Objective: To evaluate the operation of a Long-Stay Institution for the Elderly (LSIE), aiming adequacy of the LSIE according to legislation and improving care. Methods: A qualitative, exploratory-descriptive, action research study was performed, in Currais Novos/RN. Routine observation, interviews and records were the used ways for data collection. Results: The institution was philanthropic, approaching type II care modality. The elderly were confined mainly by family abandonment. Health team was incomplete, with workload fewer than recommended by law, and the care team worked without coordination and supervision of a nurse. Conclusion: We hope that intervention proposal will contribute to improvements in the LSIE, improving care quality provided to the elderly.
