This study aims to report the multidisciplinary health education actions for the elderly of the UMAnizando project in times of COVID-19. The project proposes health education lines of action developed through a dialogical-reflective approach between staff and the elderly, considering their local reality, therefore, using a wide variety of technologies/educational practices proven to be effective, and constantly monitoring the project actions. The health education strategies of the project can serve as a model for other realities, in this challenging context of promoting health for the elderly in the COVID-19 pandemic period.
