Summary/Abstract: Older people represent a category which specifically constitutes the object of social worker intervention. The modern society treats the elderly with disbelief the uselessness, by creating a culture of young people where the older person finds his or her place increasingly difficult. Promoting the concept of „active aging” assumes education and formation for a lifetime, making withdrawing from activity progressive, by practicing activities beneficial to health.
