The hospitalization of frail elderly people represents a growing challenge due to population aging and the increase in comorbidities associated with this age group. Elderly people in conditions of frailty, characterized by loss of physiological reserves and greater vulnerability to stressors, present high risks during and after hospitalization, including functional decline, nosocomial infections and increased mortality. Studies show that these patients are more likely to suffer prolonged hospitalizations and frequent readmissions, which contributes to increased healthcare costs and overburdens hospital systems.Social support networks, made up of family, friends and community services, are fundamental to the recovery and quality of life of hospitalized elderly people. The presence of robust social support can reduce the length of hospital stay, facilitate the transition back home and minimize the risk of readmissions, as well as contributing to emotional well-being and adherence to treatment.
