Aging is a stage of life that may bring several challenges, such as significant changes in personal identity and experiences of loss. In this context, the existence of a sense of purpose in life can play a crucial role in promoting longevity, as well as dignified and active aging, with well-being and quality of life. Therefore, throughout the aging process, it is essential that individuals remain engaged with a sense of purpose, enabling older adults to achieve a better quality of life in their daily experiences, particularly in relation to social, physical, and emotional well-being, thereby contributing to increased longevity. Establishing a purpose in later life is fundamental for older individuals to feel useful within their social environment, allowing them to perform daily activities with independence and autonomy. The general objective of this study was to identify the impact of life purpose on the well-being of older adults participating in the Memory Group of the Brazilian Alzheimer’s Association – Maranhão Regional (ABRAz/MA). The specific objectives were to examine the relationship between life purpose and the participation of older adults in the Memory Group; to present the participants’ perceptions regarding life purpose at their current stage of life; and to analyze the influence of the memory group on the construction and maintenance of life purpose. The research was conducted through semistructured interviews and the application of a scale, using qualitative data analysis. In conclusion, all research objectives were achieved. The most relevant findings indicate that motivation to fulfill personal and family-related aspirations stands out as a key element, reinforcing the understanding that a sense of purpose in life is indeed effective in shaping both the daily experiences and the future perspectives of older adults.
