The aim of this study is to find out the profile of caregivers within the Basic Health Unit area of the Ruy Virmond Carnasciali housing project, in North Londrina. A questionnaire was applied, with objective and subjective questions, to 91 caregivers, selected through the Primary Level Project of Interdisciplinary Assistance to the Elderly. Of the interviewed caregivers, 70.3%) are women, 21% are between 31 and 40 years old and 20% are between 51 and 60 years old. As for the relationship to the elderly patients, 39% are daughters and 31% wives. 42.7% of the caregivers dedicated more than 8 hours per day to take care of elderly.
