Abstract

The objective of the article is to present a review of the comprehensive care offered to the elderly from the Venezuelan institutional-legal framework, which has allowed to configure a series of phases through which public policies have gone through: social security, social assistance , health, as ways to offer comprehensive care to seniors. This construction has become a contribution to gerontological science as a science destined to the study of the aging process and old age; as well as for the career of gerontology when identifying, from the vision of the atoras, key elements that have influenced the attention of the elderly in Venezuela. In the same way, in this revision process, the existence of a negative image about old age has been identified as a framework of action in the welfare social programs implemented by governments in the course of time.
