The diploma thesis is focused on the ethical dilemmas of a social worker when working with people suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The aim of this theses is to describe the ethical dilemmas that a social worker encounters when working with people suffering from Alzheimer's disease and then to point out how the chosen ethical theory can be helpful in solving the dilemma situation. The first to fourth chapters are conceived in an informative form. These chapters are based primarily on professional literature. In the first chapter I characterize the target group of my diploma thesis. The second chapter focuses on an institution with a special regime which is intended for people with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia. The third chapter deals with the social worker which is followed by the fourth chapter of negotiations with the applicant for residential social service in an institution with a special regime. The fifth chapter describes eight dilemma situations that I personally experienced as a social worker. The sixth chapter of the diploma thesis deals with the analysis of my chosen ethical dilemma from the point of view of the ethical theory of utilitarianism.

A semi-structured interview method was chosen to obtain relevant data. The data were analysed using an open coding method followed by categorisation. They are presented in a case study designs. Communication changed for all couples, always in a different form and extent. The changes affected all linguistic levels, with the most significant variations occurring on the lexical-semantic and pragmatic levels, and to a lesser extent on the morphological- syntactic and phonetic-phonological levels.

Speech therapy councelling was not offered to the respondents. As changes in communication...
