JIRSOVÁ, Hana
This bachelor's thesis is about the usage of activation activities. Its main goal is to map activation activities offered in the Home for the Elderly "Máj" and how popular they are. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part is further divided into four sections. The first one describes changes connected to getting old. Second section characterizes different kinds of activation activities. Third one describes how to correctly communicate with the elderly; it is important to know how to communicate with the elderly whose hearing or sight are impaired, or with those who suffer from dementia. The last section describes basic types of motivation that affects activity of the elderly. I have chosen qualitative strategy of the research. The research was in-field. Methods used for getting data were extrospective observation and half-structured dialog, method for processing the data was qualitative content analysis. The researched group of people were nine elderly women and three workers from the home for the elderly in the regional town. The research showed that the facility offers wide range of activation activities that may be performed each day - canistherapy, reminiscence, art therapy, psychotherapy, music therapy, ergotherapy - workshops, memory training, <coffee movies>, various cultural events, group games, reading and church services. The elderly are content with the available free time activities. It turns out that all of the approached elderly take part in at least one activity per week. One of the most visited and popular activities is ergotherapy - workshops, where larger groups of the elderly meet regularly. The interest in other activation activities is tied to the interests the elderly had before moving into the home for the elderly. Thanks to these activation activities they do not feel alone, they can meet with others and fulfill their needs. The results of this work can be used as feedback and information for specialists who create activation program in home for the elderly.

Stimulating activities for the clients at the Senior Citizen Home in the context of the individual planning
ZEMANOVÁ, Marie
The bachelor work deals with leisure time activities in a given senior home. The main goal was to find out if the activities correspond with the interests and needs of the clients and if they agree with their individual plans. The study is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part has seven chapters. The first three chapters characterize the old age as the last part of life, the changes coming in this period and the needs of elderly people. The next chapter analyzes the role of stimulating activities for seniors. The importance of individual planning in residence facilities is described in the following part. The last chapter introduces the setting of the senior home where the research was undertaken. The practical part of the research looks into the ways of choosing and offering the activities. A qualitative research strategy was employed here. The survey was carried out by means of a semi-structured interview. The method of document analysis was used when studying the personal documentation. The research took place in the Senior Home in Pacov and included six clients and two social workers. The results of the interviews and individual plans are compared in a chart. The aim was to find out if the activities correspond with current individual plans. The research showed that the basis for successful planning and choosing leisure time activities is mapping the client's situation, recording it correctly and passing the information among the staff dealing with the client when providing the service. It is important for the staff to support the clients in order to motivate them, make them feel good in the residence facility and accept the activities offered. The research also proved that individual planning still hasn't become a method that all the staff is accustomed to.

Motivational activities for people with Alzheimer's disease
HÁLOVÁ, Jana
Bachelor thesis titled Activation Activities for People with Alzheimer?s disease. Dementia is becoming a social problem, especially in people over 65 years of age. Dementia as a disease begins slowly and quietly. Therefore, patients suffering from it and people around them often confuse it with normal aging. This disease is divided into several types according to its causes. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer?s disease. Alzheimer?s disease is one of progredient brain diseases; in humans it is characterized by the disturbance of multiple higher cortical functions, including memory, orientation, thinking, reasoning, understanding, communication skills, and judgment. Early diagnosis and starting the treatment as soon as possible are essential for affecting the course of the disease. The treatment of Alzheimer?s disease is to be approached comprehensively. Pharmacological treatment is important but so are therapies focused on cognitive rehabilitation and activation of the patient. Activation activity means training and consolidation of motor, mental, and social abilities and skills of a person. Activation activities may include ergotherapy, aromatherapy, music therapy, zootherapy, art therapy and more. Family caregivers, who cannot look after a person a person with Alzheimer?s disease, may decide to place the family member in a home with a special regime. Another reason for such placement may be the provision of care in a facility of a standard better than people with dementia could have received at home. At a home with a special regime, a person with Alzheimer?s disease is looked after by nursing staff, medical staff, workers engaged in activation activities, social workers and other therapists; therefore, this professional care for people with dementia is better. Qualitative research, using the methods of a semi-standardized interview, uncontrolled observation, and content data analysis, was chosen for the empirical (practical) part. The research was conducted at the Home with Special Regime in Strakonice and at the Home with Special Regime Na Zlaté stoce in České Budějovice. Thirteen respondents took part in the research. Jobs of the respondents were as follows: a social work instructor in a home with a special regime, a social work instructor in a home for the elderly, a physiotherapist, a direct care worker, an activation activities worker, nurses and a ward sister. The respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method. The research regarding seven respondents, who work with patients suffering from Alzheimer?s disease, took place at the first facility. Six respondents participated in the research at the other facility. Their ages ranged from 27 to 53 years. The objective of this bachelor thesis was to find out the ways in which activities and activation activities change with the progression of Alzheimer?s disease at the facilities for people with dementia syndromes. A partial objective of the thesis was to obtain an opinion of the workers in social services about activation activities most suitable for people with Alzheimer?s disease. Another partial objective was to map the activation activities offered at the two selected facilities with a special regime in South Bohemia. The research question was as follows: Are activation activities for people Alzheimer?s disease performed with regard to the progression of the disease at the selected facilities?

The possibilities of free-time activities for people living in senior homes or homes with special regime in Pilsen
ŠOTOVÁ PŘÍVĚTIVÁ, Tereza
In my bachelor thesis I dealt with the current state of activation activities offered in retirement homes and homes with special regime in the city of Pilsen and changing trends within five years. Especially, my interest was focused on getting to know the difference of the socially therapeutic and activation activities among the homes, but I also wanted to find out whether the official offer of each home, which is mentioned in publicly available documents and sources, differs from the leisure activities provided in reality. The target of my work was the mutual comparison of offers of leisure activities, which are provided by Pilsner homes, and the survey of interest in these activation activities of the users of social service. The method of quality survey was used for accomplishing the thesis. An analysis of socially therapeutic and leisure activities was carried out as well as a secondary analysis of activity materials. The information was collected from a survey company in the form of questioning with the help of regulated individual interviews prepared in advance and followingly described in situational tretises.
