Dementia is an emerging public health issue resulting from population aging and epidemiological transition. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the living networks woven by a user with dementia and her family in the path of seeking health care and support, through the existential connections established in their journey, from the perspective of a guiding team. To achieve this, a qualitative cartographic approach was applied using techniques such as focus groups, analyzer flowchart, and field diary. The analysis of the results allowed identifying home visits as a tool of soft technology in the movement of living networks and the need for ongoing education to ensure the comprehensive care of users with dementia syndromes. It is concluded that there is a need to better articulate care technologies in order to make actions more effective
