The progress and current status of the process in each country is different. The general aim of this research is to characterize the population over 65 years (which is considered older adult), considering further older adults as subjects of social assistance, when exposed to conditions of homelessness, disability, marginalization and abuse. Take into account that current realities are determined strongly by the previous stages of the life cycle of individuals, not only personal, but also the family, socioeconomic and historical.
