Abstract

We carried out a bibliographic review taking into account aspects related with the family and the elder adult. We give the concept of the family according to the criteria of different authors, review other aspects related with familiar diversity and complexity, the familiar functions, the life cycle, and the familiar crisis. We expose the importance this social group has in the care and attention of the elder adult, and also the role of the elder people as part of the family.
