The present experience report reflects on the modus operandi of a support service for the elderly in a city in the interior of the state of Paraná. The reflections are described in the light of the neoliberal ideas in a dialectical perspective, seeking to bring notes on what to reflect on what escapes the eyes and which greatly influences the demands that came to us as workers of the social assistance secretariat. The methodological path was followed through the report of experience in a certain time period, where the complaints presented by the elderly made (re) think about the service and its initial assumptions, understanding that the support dimension is strictly linked to the welcoming dimension to guarantee the services provided. Your rights. The initial perceptions presented correlate with the state of death and point to the constitution of a state of invisibility for vulnerable populations, with a focus here, the elderly population.
