Method:descriptive sectional study. Two municipalities were randomly selected for each region, meeting the inclusion criteria. Thus, the study sample was composed of 11 municipalities from the five regions of the country, including public, private and philanthropic institutions. Results:it was identified that 47% of these institutions have higher education technicians and a significant percentage who have no training. In most of these institutions, the attendance of the physician (88%) and the nurse (66%) prevails. Regarding infrastructure, 75% have satisfactory physical conditions. Final Considerations:the institutions included in this research meet the conditions established by RDC 283, mainly in terms of infrastructure. However, in addition to the minimum requirements for functioning, these services must offer comprehensive and quality care that addresses the needs of this institutionalized populationAttribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/idosocuidadoresinstituição de longa permanência para idososagedcaregivershomes for the agedancianohogares para ancianosarticlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.30681/252610104183
