The aim of this study was to describe the experience of older people providing care at home to older dependents.<h4>Methods</h4>A qualitative study was carried out to describe and explore the experience of older people, caregivers of dependent older people in the home.<h4>Results</h4>Four themes emerged as a result of the analysis: interpersonal relationships established in the caregivers' immediate environment; the need and request for public and private resources; consequences of providing care during old age; and adaptation to the circumstance of being a caregiver during old age. Older people who provide home-based care, experience their situation as stressful, feel that it limits their daily life, deprives them of their freedom, and affects their interpersonal relationships and social activities.<h4>Discussion</h4>Older caregivers learn quickly and can manage the skills issues.
