This article analyzes the psychosocial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on elderly individuals in the municipality of Tefé, Amazonas, from a qualitative perspective. Through ethnography and semi-structured interviews conducted in 2024 with ten elderly participants attending the Elderly Social Center, the study explored the effects of social isolation on daily life, mental health, and care networks. The results reveal that the disruption of routine, loss of autonomy, and reduced social interactions intensified feelings of loneliness, fear, sadness, and insecurity. On the other hand, family presence emerged as a significant protective factor. The study highlights the resilience of the elderly in the face of adversity and shows how structural inequalities exacerbate vulnerability during public health crises. The analysis contributes to the debate on aging, mental health, and public policies in territories marked by social inequalities.
