<jats:p>Objective: To evaluate the functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) of the institutionalized elderly from an ICF perspective. Method: A cross-sectional observational analytic study was conducted with 22 elderly residents (77.9 ± 9.41 years) of a long-stay care institution in Curitiba, Paraná. The following assessment instruments were applied: the Barthel Index, the Nottingham Health Profile Questionnaire, and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). Analysis of the data was done by measures of central tendency (mean) and dispersion (standard deviation). The ICF was analyzed by the distribution of relative and absolute frequencies. Results: The majority of the sample had medium cognitive status and light functional dependency. The domain that most interfered with the elderly’s QOL was physical ability, energy level, sleep, and emotional and social pain, respectively. The ICF frequency distribution showed aspects not observed in the conventional assessment of the participants; in particular, it showed great specificity in the following functions: mental, sensory, and pain, the digestive, metabolic, and endocrine systems, psychomotor, movement, personal care, support and relationships, and individual activities. Conclusions: It is expected that the ICF will be adopted and used in various areas of health, including long-stay care facilities and multidisciplinary teams, so that professionals, through a unified and standard language, may intervene in the health of the individual as a whole.</jats:p>
