The aim of the research was to find out the limits and barriers to the work of the interprofessional team of a specific home for the elderly. The research concentrated on the setting, functionality, and coordination of the interprofessional team by the organization's management, including its self-regulation and also the ability to work consciously with the professional multi-discipline. The method of qualitative questioning was used as part of the qualitative research strategy. Data were obtained from informants, members of the interprofessional team of the home for the elderly. Firstly, data were got through narrative interviews using the Focus Groups method with random groups of informants. Then semi-structured interview with 6 chosen informants was used. It was important to compare the position of the professional groups of the interprofessional team, from the data collected. The data provided by the observation method were also supplemented. Interpretative phenomenological analysis using Atlas.ti 9 was used to evaluate the provided data. The research was done in August 2023. The secured limits and barriers to the work of the interprofessional team are the benefit of the research. These provide insight into the issues of interprofessional teamwork, it means building an interprofessional team and, above all, its sustainability and functionality. Lack of staff, lack of coordination and communication, insufficient knowledge of the nature of the interprofessional team, insufficient management support, not enough harmonization, uncorrected position of professional groups, low emotional presence within the team were found. The main barriers were staff turnover, inconsistency in staff thinking, lack of shared goals, burnout syndrome, low external and inner motivation of staff. Limits and barriers to the work of the interprofessional team can be strategically processed. Through this processing, the management of the organization can further fulfill its mission and goals in the form of work with the capacity of human resources. The list of limits and barriers gained by this research can also be a confrontational material for other organizations.
