This study aims to describe a workshop designed to stimulate caregivers of a long-stay institution for elderly to reflect on the service provided to them from personal experience and from the particular characteristics of old age. In October 2015, it was carried out the workshop Jogo do Envelhecimento, in a long-stay institution for elderly of the region of Campos Gerais, Paraná, Brazil. This workshop was part of the extension project “Inter(action) in the elderly: Multidisciplinary attention to institutionalized seniors and their formal caregivers,” developed by teachers and students from Nursing course of State University of Ponta Grossa. Sixteen formal caregivers took part in it and it was conducted through simulation techniques in pharmacy, supermarket, restaurant and health institution. Afterwards, the caregivers shared their experiences in the workshop with the elderly residents at the institution and reflected on the care provided and the need to pay attention to the aging changes. The training of caregivers about the difficulties faced by the elderly proved to be a beneficial tactic to improve the care provided in a long-stay institution.
