With the following health descriptors associated with the Boolean operator AND: elderly and palliative care and geriatrics. Results: From the nine articles analyzed for the review, it was possible to verify that the interdisciplinarity aimed at individualized follow-up to the elderly patient and their family, allows better management of physical, psychosocial and spiritual symptoms and a greater understanding of this care, focused on collaborate for holistic patient care, improving care in geriatric palliative care. Non-pharmacological interventions have a relevant role in the action of the geriatrician in palliative care.
