Although old age is not synonymous with illness, many seniors are aging with morbidities that affect their physical and cognitive ability making them dependent on care. In this scenario the figure of the family caregiver or the care professional appears. Researches that has proposed to look at the care done by family members indicates that caregivers often become ill and succumb to the caring process. However, for reasons pursued in this study, the experience is not common to all caregivers, it is possible to find other possibilities of care in caregivers who developed a healthy relationship in this path. This study aims to discuss the issue of care and the elements that may contribute to overcome the difficulties inherent in family care at home. To do so, we rescued the history of a municipal service and interviewed family caregivers who participate in the Caregiver Support Group. The bibliographic survey pertinent to the theme was fundamental to the research. To deepen the research we used the qualitative method which will allow us to observe and understand the different stories of 06 (six) caregivers and their relationship of care to the elderly family. Center for Reference to the Elderly Health (CERESI) in Guarulhos was our scenario of observation and meeting of respondents who answered open questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and life history narratives
