Křenek, Jan ; Hejzlarová, Eva (advisor) ; Angelovská, Olga (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the history of the development of public institutions for the care of the elderly in the Czech lands. Specifically, these are institutions that existed here in our territory before in the past and which tried to play the role of today's homes for the elderly. The thesis aims to focus on the historical development of senior homes in the Czech lands. In order to explore this topic, it focuses not only on the diversity of care, accommodation, diet, forms of entertainment and other factors that have been observed in institutions for the elderly in the past, but also on public policy aspects such as laws, decrees or other legislation relating to these institutions. Using literature search, legislation and analysis of relevant sources related to individual institutions, data were collected on the development of public institutions caring for the elderly. The bachelor's thesis also shows the development of the welfare state in the Czech territory and shows the trends that appeared in the development of these institutions and captures the individual institutions in what they really were. Keywords Senior houses, retirement homes, hospices, poorhouses, social care institutions, historical development.
The Old Age and the Leisure Time of Seniors in the Retirement Homes
CHURÁČKOVÁ, Zita
The diploma work explains the basic terms which are related to the old age, the phenomenon of the old age and accompanying changes of this age. Institutions concretely retirement homes are the main aim of this work. I have chosen three institutions in České Budějovice {--} Houses for retired people Máj, Hvízdal and Dobrá Voda. I{\crq}m describing and characterizing these houses and comparing their leisure time offers. Further there are described suggestions of spending leisure time of the elderly and activities which are possible to do. The work contains an illustrative research realized with the clients in the form of reading questionnaires in these three institutions. There are little differences, but the offers of the leisure time activities are mostly the same. The way, how the clients spend their leisure time depends a lot on the staff willingness. A special worker for leisure time is not employed in any of these institutions. That is a social worker who cares about clients{\crq} leisure time the most.
