MEETING THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE IN OLD AGE IN A SOCIAL CARE HOME

Summary/Abstract: A social care home is one form of care for people in old age. Its statutory task is to meet the multifaceted needs of its residents. The aim of this publication is to diagnose the degree to which the needs of residents of a social care home are met. The main research problem was framed as the question: to what degree are needs met, in the opinion of residents of a social care home? Thirty-six residents of the facility were surveyed by interview, and conversations were held with the management and care staff. The research results show that, in the residents' opinion, health, social, spiritual, nursing, care and security needs are met to the highest degree, whereas rehabilitation, cultural and educational needs are met to a low degree. The degree to which the needs of social care home residents are met determines their adaptation and functioning within the total-care facility.
