Objective: to report the experience of educational sessions on cardiovascular health in the home of elderly people with arterial hypertension and/or Diabetes Mellitus. Method: this is a descriptive study, of the experience report type, which consisted of educational sessions on cardiovascular health at home with 164 hypertensive and/or diabetic elderly people. The data were analyzed descriptively. Results: it was noted that the elderly adhered to the activities more than the elderly. It was highlighted that the majority of the elderly thought that healthy eating was expensive, being impressed with the explanation about cigarette additives and their harmful effects. It appears that the elderly who did not practice physical activity justified the absence of this practice due to lack of interest and lack of enthusiasm. Conclusion: it is concluded that home visit is a strategy to develop educational sessions on cardiovascular health of hypertensive and/or diabetic elderly, especially male and with increased cardiovascular risk.
