Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to identify the difficulties and needs of old people in order to emphasize the counselling need both before and during COVID 19 pandemic period. Investigated subjects before pandemic period indicated as priority for them development of social services for old people, as well as foundation of clubs meant to encourage and support their need for belonging, for communication and socialization with community members, especially in rural environment where these locations are very rare. Old people discrimination by limiting their access to social environment during pandemic period deserves a detailed analysis.
