    Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that manifests itself in cognitive and memory impairment. AD is considered a family disease, to which its primary caregivers are exclusively dedicated. Objective: Describe, from evidence data in the literature, how families experience the routine of care and attention to elderly family members with Alzheimer's disease. Method: This is an integrative review of a qualitative approach. Twelve scientific articles were selected from the Lilacs, BDENF, Medline and Scielo databases. Results: The study was carried out in articles that approach the theme, published between 2013 and 2020, with national and international publications of descriptive, qualitative, comparative and cross-sectional studies. Conclusion: The overload present in the care of elderly people with AD can be mitigated through the implementation of care strategies for caregivers.
