Objective: to associate the visibility of nurses, from the perspective of the elderly, with the use of and access to health services by this age group. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, analytical study conducted at home between March 2017 and June 2018 with 1,635 elderly people living in Uberaba, Minas Gerais. The data was collected at home using a structured questionnaire prepared by the researchers and based on publications on the subject, as well as questions from the National Household Sample Survey. A chi-square test was used (p<0.05), and the project was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee (no. 2.053.520). Results: Most elderly people went to the same place, with the prevalence of health centers. Also, a higher percentage recognized the nurse and were assisted by him/her when seeking care in these places. [...]. However, a higher proportion of elderly people who sought the same place of healthcare were identified among those who knew the nurse compared to those who did not (p=0.011). Conclusion: Elderly people who knew the nurse sought care in the same place, indicating that recognizing the professional can lead to continuity of care. [...].
