The objective is to analyze the daily lives of elderly people during the pandemic. Exploratory-descriptive, qualitative study with 574 participants. Data collected by digital form. The categories emerged from the inductive analysis: what you did during your time "at home", the help you need in your daily life, the multiple meanings of care: of yourself and the other. It is concluded that the daily life was marked by the interruption and intensification of activities and that the elderly people were protagonists in the care of themselves and the other.
