In order to determine the influence of the caregiving context on the quality of life of the family caregiver of the chronically ill older adult, a correlational observational study was carried out. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Barthel index, the MOS social support questionnaire, and a checklist "Factors of the physical environment of the older adult at home" were applied to 200 family caregivers and 200 older adults, with a reliability of 0.90 according to the equivalence test. The data were processed through SPSS version 26.0. The mean age of the family caregiver was 47.8+13.7 years, mostly female, high school educated, living with a partner. Seven out of ten family caregivers reported little social support. The older adult cared for was 74.7+9 years old, average time of illness of 13.4+6.1 years, 75% with arterial hypertension and 40% diabetes as comorbidity. Fortyfive percent of older adults presented some degree of functional dependence. The home of the older adults presents a shortage of home adaptations, they do not have ramps, half of them do not have a single room; the bathroom does not have non-slip floors, support bars; in addition, there is no adaptation for care management. The time of illness, functional capacity of the older adult, the social support perceived by the family caregiver, seem to have a significant influence on the emotional dimension of the caregiver's quality of life (p<0.05).
