The Seniors´ Leisure Time Using in Old People´s Homes after the Legislation Change
KROUPOVÁ, Jitka
Ageing population becomes a world-wide problem of the 21st century. The old age represents changes in physical, psychical and social sphere. The image of {\clqq}successful`` ageing is based mainly on the improvement of life quality and adaptation to old age. Special attention is paid to keeping an active lifestyle, even at an old age. The way of spending free time significantly affects both the mental and the physical state of the seniors. Leisure time of the seniors can be filled up with their private activities or with the activities offered in the homes for seniors. The new Act on Social Services, effective since January 2007, regulates mainly the overall conception and conditions for providing social services. Among other affected subjects, the changes stated in the Act also apply to the homes for seniors, their users and providers. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the problems related to ageing and old age, with special focus on seniors´ free time and their leisure activities. I attempted to tackle the problems from the point of view of the Act on Social Services. The research aim was to find out if the changes related to new legislation influenced leisure activities in the homes for seniors. Reaching this aim was facilitated by the hypothesis saying that the legislation changes (Act no. 108/2006 of the Law Code) did not influence the way of spending free time among the clients in the homes for seniors. To elaborate the practical part I applied quantitative survey based on the technique of controlled interviews with seniors in chosen homes for seniors. As an auxiliary method I applied document analysis, namely the technique of the secondary analysis of data. Controlled interviews were conditioned by the fact that the seniors were clients of the given home, their cognitive functions were not impaired and they were willing to provide the answers. The interviews were anonymous and contained 21 questions each. The research showed that the respondents did not mention any obvious changes in spending their free time which could be related to new legislation, and similarly they did not observe changes in leisure activities provided by the home for seniors. I assume that the initial hypothesis was proved by the research. In my opinion the bachelor thesis could provide the broad public with information on the ways of spending leisure time among the clients in the homes for seniors.

Guidelines for social services providers of custodia assistance
ČERNÝ, Jiří
The bachelor work is aimed at a social service of Personal Assistance and providers of this service. It processes information concerning both users and providers of the social service. The theoretical part of the bachelor work deals with a history of the social care in the Czech Republic, further it characterizes Personal Assistance and in the end it explains conditions of a rendition of Personal Assistance after the change of the Act on the social services. That part should serve as a basis for a manual for future and current providers of Personal Assistance. A goal of the practical part of the bachelor work was to chart providers of the social service of Personal Assistance in the territory of the capital of Prague and to find out what problems they had to settle after the change of the Act No. 108/2006 of Collection of Laws, on social services. To get information on the given problem I used a methodology of a quantitative research {--} a technique of a controlled interview. I spoke with headmen of Personal Assistance personally and in case of a lack of time in organizations I chose a telephone interview. Of course I tried to prefer an option of a personal meeting which takes effect more credibly and that way it is possible to get more valuable pieces of information. Results of this work indicated that the established legislature of the Act No. 108/2006 of Collection of Laws, on social services, has mainly a negative influence on the providers of Personal Assistance. The practice progressively shows all matters the users and the social service providers have to meet, what is not exactly determined and defined in the Act. Let us hope it will come about a positive feedback of the Act Amendment coming into force from August 1st, 2009. Three hypotheses follow from research questions of the practical part concerning conditions of a registration: 1. {\crq}qOrganizations providing the social service of Personal Assistance have not been satisfied with conditions how to obtain the service registration{\crq}q. 2. ``The financial situation of providers has a negative influence on a range of the social service of Personal Assistance{\crq}q. 3. ``An amount of the care contribution significantly constrains the users from an exploitation of the social service of Personal Assistance{\crq}q. Results of the research will serve to an increasing of knowledge of the above mentioned issues and it will be appreciated both by providers of social services and by the people engaged in the social service.

Support of families with a handicapped child
LUKEŠOVÁ, Miloslava
The family means an environment in which human personality is formed, where human capital is created and where future generations are raised and educated. Its prosperity influences the development of the state as well as the cultural, social and economic development. It is always a stressful situation for the family if the newborn child is handicapped or if the handicap develops in a child so far healthy. There may be inevitable changes in parents´ employment, in the lifestyle of the family, in the way of spending free time and often even in the relationships within the family. One form of possible alleviation in such a situation is the existence of social services. Act no. 108/2006 on Social Services is aimed at specifying particular types of social services and related allowances as a tool for helping. The intended outcome is a healthy, competitive environment in this sphere and subsequent growth of social services network. The submitted bachelor thesis is based on qualitative research focused on the opinions and attitudes of handicapped children´s parents. The parents evaluated the current forms of support provided for their families, the offer of social services in their region and the services utilization. The thesis also surveys how much information is available to the parents as regards the system of social help and social services, what is their first experience regarding family care allowance. This allowance is a new form within the Czech social support system. The sample consisted of thirty parents of handicapped children and the data collection technique was based on semi-standardized interviews and content analysis. The survey results yielded the following hypothesis for prospective quantitative research: The interest of families with a handicapped child in broader offer of social services does not depend on the nominal value of allowances intended for covering the cost of these services.

Quality standards of Helpline Arkáda The changes brought about by the Social Services Act apply to all social services. Quality standards have been made into mandatory conditions the providers for social service must comply with. The chief mission of the standards to ensure that service provisions respect and protect the rights of both the service beneficiaries {--} users and those who provide it {--} staff. The changes also involve the inspections of social service quality, which uses the very standards as a measure of quality of the service concerned. The theoretical part of the paper deals with the mission of social work in the context of the Social Services Act and acts laying down the position of social workers that were changed after 1989. The objective of the present thesis is to compile the Arkáda Help Line Quality Standard document meeting the requirements of the Social Services Act and at the same time will reflect the given conditions applying to the very service.

Consequence of the approval of the Law on Social Services for the operation of a specific facility
NOVOTNÝ, Miroslav
This paper was prepared with the goal of mapping the changes brought by the Law on Social Services, no. 108/2006 Coll., in a specific facility. It was developed from the prospective of the personnel of a senior home. In the theory part, this work focuses first on the definition of the social services themselves, which factors affect them and their importance for the public. The next chapter, named Development of the Legislation of the Public Social Protection System, clarifies the transfer from social security to public social protection. Another chapter is devoted to the legislation attempting to create a comprehensive legal form, which would replace the at that time unsatisfactory social care system. The following chapters characterize, in detail, the individual parts of the new social services law, what will be influence by this law, for example the standards of quality of the social services, its check in form of an inspection from the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs or a Municipal Authority. This paper also gradually focuses on the new social benefit, its purpose, amount, for whom it is designed and when the right for its payment arises. The Social Services Law is, towards the end of the theory part of this paper, the subject of a critical evaluation in the form of a SWAT analysis. Two hypotheses have been determined to meet the goal of this paper. A questionnaire survey and non-standardized interview were used during the research. The research sample was the nursing and social personnel of the Senior Home in Sněženková ulice in Prague. The questionnaire investigation and the non-standardized interviews confirmed hypothesis no. 1, which holds the opinion that, due to the influence of the social services law, the work demands on the management of the individual social services facilities will grow. The research also corfirmed hypothesis no. 2, which presumes the growth of the nursing care due to the change of the system of financing the social services and the consequent changes of client structure. Furthermore, it was proven that the law can meet its main mission {--} the preventive influence against social exclusion.
