Institutional forms of support for the elderly

Summary/Abstract: The development of social welfare homes occurred in the fifties of the last century and was the result of the transformation of previously functioning nursing homes. In addition to centers providing twenty-four-hour care, day care homes were also established and other forms of support for the elderly such as protected housing, family-based care homes or environmental nursing homes. These institutions, apart from securing the living needs of the elderly, are supposed to provide them with revitalization, activation, and integration. They organize their residents’ free time and care about their well-being.
