The theoretical part is focused on social work with the elderly, the legislative framework of the care service and the offer of assistance for the elderly. One of the chapters is devoted to the needs of old age. Part of the work is devoted to proper communication with the elderly. The end of the theoretical part is devoted to the importance of one's family in the care of the elderly and changes of one's home (moving). A qualitative research strategy was used in the diploma thesis. The research was a field research. The method of data collection was a semi-structured interview. The data were processed using qualitative content analysis and the creation of biographies of research participants. Three groups of respondents from the entire South Bohemian Region took part in the research. The first group consisted of elderly people who live in a home environment and use Home health care. The second group consisted of elderly people who live in a nursing home. The research also included a third group - employees in the care area. The most common reasons for moving to a nursing home were deteriorating health, musculoskeletal pain, frequent pain and falls. Another often mentioned reason was the fear that they could no longer take care of themselves due to reduced self-sufficiency. Most of the elderly people interviewed relied on the help of family and friends. Among the often mentioned reasons was the death of one's spouse and the fact that the family no longer wants or isn't able take care of them. From the point of view of employees, the reason may also be the solution of a housing and financial problem. Only one respondent was strongly dissatisfied with living in a nursing home.

Repeated Stays of Mothers and Their Children in a Refuge for Mothers in Vlašim
JANOUŠOVÁ, Věra
Refuge is according to the law 108/2006 an accommodation service of social prevention, which helps to people in favourable situations connected with the lost of accommodation and this helps is timely limited. My bachelor work focuses on mothers and their children who have used these services repeatedly. In the introduction of the theory part there is briefly described providing of social services in the refuge for mothers and their children in Vlašim according to the standards of quality of social services. The following part is about problems, which can cause the need of stay in a refuge. The final part is focuses on work with a client. The main aim of my bachelor work was to find out the key factors that can cause repeated stays in the Vlašim refuge. Monitoring possibilities of mothers to eliminate those factors was a partial aim of this work. Within the purview of the research there was set one very important question: ?Is there any fact reflection in an individual plan of a client when it is her repeated stay in a refuge?? Quality research was done by a method of questioning, where there was used a method of narrative dialog. The following method used was content analyse of data and participated observation. The group of observation was completed by mothers who had used the service of the Vlašim refuge home repeatedly and there were 5 respondents chosen on the base of intentional choice. The research has shown the most frequent facts that take an important part in the stay in a refuge. The first key factor is fulfilling of basic need in childhood. The second factor is not filling up of duties that come from parent responsibility. The third factor is reached education. The fourth factor is the lost of accommodation or the lack of its quality. The solution can be living in quarters, which are very difficult to be used on good conditions are set up rules. The fifth factor is having a job. According to the research there has been found out that the key factors are the same for the first or repeated stay. With none of the mothers has been found just one of those factors, which points out the fact that the factors are closely connected. The research has also shown that individual planning, in case of repeated stay, shows common characteristics, which are helpful for both sides in formation of the individual plan. The mother, who had already gone through the process of individual planning can more easier define her aims and steps that she is able to bring up to reality. The key worker can assess the possibilities of mother much easier, concentrate more on the problems that last since her previous stay and begin with cooperation with other institutions, organizations and specialists, who cannot just help in solving the present situation of the mother but also can meet the task in the field of prevention. It consists in the task of decreasing factors that lead up to repeated stay in a refuge. Despite of all common features the individual plan is made according to need of each single mother and her children. The key factors that lead to repeated stay, repeatedly appear with mothers, but the key worker has to take in consideration large number of differences, asses them one often another and include them in the plan. If not, the plan becomes just a useless document that proves that providing this social service is a low quality. The act of coming to refuge, the first one or repeated, is always connected with a combination of problems. The decision of a mother of choosing the way to solve the problems is up to her. If the mother is active in solving the problems, uses all the possibilities she can and all abilities she has and will not repeat previous wrong decisions, there is a chance to take part in independent life. I believe that the tasks of this work have been fulfilled. It can bring overview and inspiration in work with a client to a provider of accommodation services for mothers and their children.
