ŠIMÁNKOVÁ, Michaela
Currently, there are more and more people who become ill with some form of dementia. Clinical course of the disease is so destructive that patients gradually become dependent on the care of someone else, and therefore it is necessary to find for them a residential care home, where their safety, continuous supervision and day care is provided. This bachelor thesis deals with various types of dementia and possibilities of the care for elderly people with dementia according to the Act No. 108/2006 Coll. Its aim was to find out specifics of the care for elderly people with dementia as seen by social services workers from one of the special regime homes and to indentify which ones they consider to be the most important. The research focuses on the communication with clients, their nutrition, everyday activities, activation and security of clients. As very interesting aspect was revealed the effort to find a balance between maintaining client´s dignity and the necessary reduction of their wishes in order to ensure the necessary safety. The findings of this research could help residential care home managers to select an appropriate further education for caregivers to deepen their communication skills and self-reflection.
