OBJECTIVE: To report the construction of a simulated house to implement high-fidelity scenarios during home visits by nursing students with a view to primary health care. METHOD: Experience report of teachers, carried out from March 2019 to November 2020. RESULT: The simulated house required effort to assemble its physical infrastructure, as it has controlled acoustics, recording equipment, a semi-transparent mirror, and functional furniture. The implemented scenario deals with the care of a patient with hearing loss and who has high blood pressure. It was also used as an application for a mobile phone that helps in sign language can be considered something functional and useful. CONCLUSION: The presented structured scenario shows an elegant way of working home visits with students, who can exhaust their efforts in a controlled environment to expand their skills and become quality conductors when it comes to professional practice.
