Summary/Abstract: Preparing social workers to work with the elderly is important in the context of an aging society. Literature analysis shows that students rarely choose to study in the field of social work specialty care for the elderly and disabled. This is due not only to the stereotypes attributed to the elderly, but also to the poorly prepared training programs for social workers. This article focuses in particular on the introduction of content into education programs for social workers, which are important for assessing the quality of life of older people.
