Özet: The vulnerability of older adults requires specialized attention by agencies that contribute to their quality of life, as a response to the problem that can be complicated in social settings. The objective of this research was to identify the multidisciplinary intervention of social work in the gerontological area at the Guillermina Loor de Moreno Gerontological Center in the city of Portoviejo, Ecuador. The study was descriptive, with a qualitative approach, the interview technique was used as a source of information collection and the interview guide was applied to the social worker of the gerontological center as an instrument. The results show that the participation of the social worker with the multidisciplinary team in the assessment process of the elderly person allows the organization, programming, and evaluation of the center's activities, which is why complementary activities are implemented, such as the identification, mapping, and coordination of networks with other institutions, which effectively allow the elderly people in street situations to join the gerontological center. The interinstitutional management carried out by social workers in the gerontological center allows it to integrate prevention and health promotion strategies, seeking comprehensive palliative actions, which follow systematic evaluation processes.
