This paper sought to investigate possible implications of population aging in the work process of multiprofessional residents who make-up the Family Health Strategy workforce in a Brazilian municipality. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out, adopting the mixed method of analysis, according to the nature and origin of the data. The paper exposes difficulties faced/reported by the professionals, as well as highlights perceptions that may, in a certain way, be influenced by subjectivities that illustrate points to be analyzed with caution, especially in future studies. It was found that the work attitudes adopted by the residents permeate a positive view of the care provided to the elderly, highlighting the importance of the bond, territorial recognition and the functioning of local healthcare networks. However, the results also showed a low degree of knowledge among the professionals about geriatric-gerontological instruments that guide healthcare for the elderly, which could affect the quality of the health care provided.
