Summary/Abstract: The interventions approaches designed for vulnerable people are specific, differentiated and individualized according to the social, cultural, and professional context in which the individuals are living. In the elders supporting social work, there is a possibility of the direct involvement of beneficiaries in the intervention process by facilitating the social animations, or integration in social recreational programs. All these factors indicate the innovative dimensions of the nowadays system. On the social animation based intervention model, promoted in the international practice, there is a challenge for us to vary the social services offered to elders in Romanian residential centres. This article outlines through theoretical approach the importance and the specifics of the direct involvement in the senior supporting social work. In the last part of the paper we have analysed the implementation effects of different types of direct interventions in the context of different needs and types of services offered to the beneficiaries within a residential care centre for the elderly people from Cluj Napoca.
