The main objective of this research is to establish the basis of the integration process of elders in community social development activities through a socio-cultural strategy, which raises their prominence. This research is classified as explanatory. Methods such as historical and logical, analytic-synthetic, systemic-structural, and Participatory Action Research were used. Regarding to the technics, the interview, discussion groups and document analysis were also applied. The results showed that a holistic care to the elderly requires medical attention as well as participatory social actions.
