Abstract This is a qualitative study, carried out in 2018, in the city of Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil. It aimed to analyze the participation of the family in practices of socialization and its implications in the daily lives of residents in a long-term care facility for the elderly. The collection was carried out through observation, interviews and documentary analysis. The collected data were submitted to Discourse Analysis. Seven (7) institutionalized elderly women and 13 professionals involved in the institution's daily activities participated. In regards of the elderly, it was found: family distance, adaptation difficulties, family abandonment and care outsourcing. The absence of the family was justified by the professionals due to the family configuration of the elderly. The family's participation in socializing with the elderly was small, which generated sadness and discontent, as well as the non-identification of the institution as a place of residence.
