These models seek to recover, maintain and promote autonomy and independence, directing individual and collective health measures to this end. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the strategic actions in the health care of the elderly in Basic Health Units (BHU) in Teresina, State of Piaui. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out through questionnaires of the ¡®Modified Assessment to Improve the Quality of Family Health Strategy - Self-assessment brochures 4 and 5 - Family Health Team - Part II - HEALTH OF THE ELDERLY¡¯ applied to the 20 BHU executive board members in Teresina, after signing the term of consent, according to resolution 196/96. It was possible to observe that 70% of the units develop collective actions, 60% develop educational activities, 100% have updated registration of elderly patients, 95% monitor vaccination to date, 50% have a complete oral examination as a routine activity, 70% are not monitored by the Dental Health Team; 70% develop examination of the body surface as a routine, 60% are involved in the training of home care workers, 65% are involved in early detection of dementia, 80% of the professionals know the National Health Policy for the Elderly (PNSPI), 80% refuse training for action development at the PNSPI, 65% do not work at the identification of disabilities. It was possible to conclude, through the evaluation of the strategic actions in health care for the elderly, that there are deficits related to the internal professional practice at the UBS system in Teresina.
