Objectives:
to understand multidisciplinary team' experiences in the everyday lifeworld of older residents of Therapeutic Residential Services in a city in the countryside of São Paulo state.
Methods:
qualitative research based on Alfred Schutz's theoretical-methodological framework, conducted through phenomenological interviews with 19 professionals. Analysis revealed three categories that highlight the motivations for care actions.
Results:
professionals' experiences in caring for older adults in a Therapeutic Residential Service are motivated by the bond formed, by biographical aspects, and by existence of challenges faced, such as inherent limitations of care. There is also a search for greater autonomy and for valuing residents' uniqueness in daily actions.
Final Considerations:
observing the experiences that constitute the daily lives of professionals caring for older residents allowed us to recognize their unique and collective needs, and understand the challenges linked to the deinstitutionalization process, in which the Individual Therapeutic Project can guide care actions.
