Identifying the understanding of health professionals in Brazil about the right to accompanying elderly people hospitalized in hospital institutions is the main objective of this paper. The methodology consists of an explanatory research, with a qualitative approach, using the integrative review of studies published in the Virtual Health Library. As a main result, it was observed that the same responsibilities of the caregiver are delegated to the companion, which contributes to the maximum designation of responsibility for caring for the family.
