Abstract
Abstract Is it possible to age with health and quality of life in Brazil? This article defers the answer through the proposition of a cost-effective care model, in line with what is most contemporary in comprehensive care for the elderly age group. The model presented here proposes to think, in an absolutely innovative way, the care that must be provided to this portion of the population. In this text, the theory and concepts that underlie the proposed model are presented. Basically, the text reports the need for emphasis on light instances of care; in other words, focus on coordination, prevention and customer monitoring, in order to minimize waste, offering better quality care and reduced costs. The epidemiological assessment instruments used and the step by step of all health professionals are also presented.
