Residential Care for the Elderly from the Perspective of Potential Clients
HONETSCHLÄGEROVÁ, Jana
The thesis deals with accommodation services for the elderly in the region of České Budějovice. The aim of the thesis was to map out what residential services for the elderly in České Budějovice are preferred from the perspective of potential candidates. The secondary aim was to find out information on the basis of which the potential users of residential services decide on their use. Next, I tried to determine whether the inhabitants of the village of Borek prefer apartments in a house of special purpose before homes for the elderly, and whether they are aware of the differences between the two types of residential services. The theoretical part clarifies concepts that are related to this issue. Topics discussed in detail are the age, changes and needs in old age, self-sufficiency, mobility, disability, ageing of the population, social services in the Czech Republic with an emphasis on residential services for seniors. The theoretical part also mentions the issue of financing and planning of social services for the elderly in the South Bohemia region and in the territory of SO ORP České Budějovice. The practical part of the thesis describes the objectives and hypotheses, research methods and actual results. For finding information a quantitative research was chosen. I chose a method of querying through the questionnaire technique. The survey was conducted through direct contact. The research sample consisted of residents of the village Borek in age over 65 years. The results of the questionnaire showed that residents of the village would most use nursing homes of the residential services for the elderly. Most respondents would, in the case that they will be partially or completely self-sufficient turned to the family, or take advantage of support from the family in combination with field service. Furthermore, it was evident from the results that the inhabitants of the village of Borek know the differences between a home for the elderly and nursing home. When deciding on residential services for the elderly the biggest role played the quality, health status and price. This thesis can serve as an analytical material for the village of Borek as well as for planning of social services in the territory of SO ORP České Budějovice.

Risk plan related to injury prevention of the clients of St. Elisabeth's Nursing Home
MYSLIVCOVÁ, Markéta
Injuries represent a serious and often discussed topic of health and social matters, particularly within the numerous and growing population aged over 65. Vulnerability and fragility of elderly persons makes them a risk group. The purpose of this bachelor's thesis is to present a comprehensive view at the causes, relations and factors that can lead to an injury of an elderly person. Based on survey of risk factors it is possible to draft ways of prevention and thereby contribute to limiting the consequences that are usually permanent or even fatal. By integrating the theoretical and research parts of the thesis, the facts from relevant literature are compared to information obtained within practical research using qualitative methods: data analysis, observation and interviews. The results acquired in Domov Svate Alzbety reveal very concordant fact to those described in scientific literature. The result of this thesis is a confirmation of the necessity to introduce new strategic approach to prevention. The modern concept of health and social care highlights a complex perspective towards the elderly. Therefore a risk plan is understood to be an efficient factor of prevention of injuries which respects the functional abilities and all bio-psycho-social possibilities of the client.

Other goals were to determine the extent of fulfilment of standards the quality of social services from the point of view of users of a particular service and to determine the possibilities for correspondence of a particular social service to regularly available public assistance resources.

Expectations and Reality of Living in Nursing home in Planá nad Lužnicí
VOBORSKÁ, Dana
This bachelor thesis deals with an issue of seniors´ living in a nursing home, which is one of residential social services offered in the Czech Republic. The aim of the thesis is to identify in which aspects expectations of seniors before moving into the Nursing home in Planá nad Lužnicí differed from the reality of the life in this facility. Therefore the research aim is to find out what the expectations of local residents related to and to what extent they were met. The partial aim is to gain an overview about the fact whether the seniors before their arrival in the nursing home are sufficiently informed about the housing and services in this facility. In the theoretical part, first there are defined concepts of ageing and old age and there are described changes accompanying this period of life. Further there are presented social services for seniors provided in the Czech Republic. There is described an adaptation process and in the end of the theoretical part the Nursing home in Planá nad Lužnicí is presented. To get necessary information for the practical part of my thesis I used a qualitative research. I chose a method of interviewing, a technique of a narrative semi-controlled dialogue. From results of my investigation it is apparent that the seniors´ expectations before their arrival in the nursing home were associated not only with the reason of their removal, but also with the fact, what information about their future living was available. Through the research I found out that the vast majority of respondents had enough information about the nursing home. The respondents´ expectations were in most cases associated with a barrier-free environment and a possibility to use chosen nursing care operations. Then the research showed that respondents in the nursing home appreciate a comfortable barrier-free living in the pleasant surroundings. Respondents evaluate positively the nursing care as well as the staff, although some of them point out to financial demands of the housing and services provided. It is important for the respondents that they can continue to be engaged in their favourite activities and meet their friends here. The research shows that in some cases the reality of the housing in the Nursing home in Planá nad Lužnicí even exceeded the expectations associated with the moving into this facility. The findings gained through this thesis could serve as a feedback for the staff of the Nursing home in Planá nad Lužnicí. They also could contribute to increasing of a general awareness of the fact what seniors expect from their living in the nursing home and what the housing in such a facility can offer them.

Quality of Senior´s Life in Residential Facilities of Social Services
MATLASOVÁ, Kateřina
Today´s society starts to be intensively interested in life in general and old people´s quality of life, therefore I decided to focus this diploma thesis on seniors´ quality of life in social service facilities. The given goals were to map and assess the quality of seniors? life in chosen social service facilities in a former Jindřichův Hradec district, to compare the quality of seniors´ life in three facilities of the same social services in the frame of the former Jindřichův Hradec district and also to compare the seniors´ quality of life in different social service facilities. The research of this work was made due to a qualitative form. A semi-standardized (semi-controlled) interview survey method and a qualitative observation method, which was used to get the assumed goals of the whole work, were used. To get the aims I used an interview method which was done in Senior Apartment in Jindřichův Hradec, České Velenice and Budíškovice as well as in an apartment with day care in Jindřichův Hradec. It was also used a scale questionnaire called WHO DAS II as a complementary technique in all the social service facilities. The following hypotheses were made out in keeping with the given goals of this diploma thesis. The first hypothesis ? the more social active actions were offered in the frame of provided social services, the higher is the users´ quality of life of this service. The second hypothesis ? users of this service have higher quality of life in the district town than users of this service provided in a municipality with inhabitants less than 10 000. The third hypothesis ? users? quality of life in day care facilities is higher than users´ quality of life of a senior apartment. The given hypotheses were confirmed. We can say old people´s quality of life has been improved in the comparison with last years. I would recommend solving this problem with good communication and feedback which is necessary to find out how seniors are satisfied with services in facilities. It is also very important to keep each client´s private which leads to the feeling of certainty and safeness.

Health-social problems of a dental care of elderly people living in a senior house in Pacov
TŮMOVÁ, Dana
Teeth aging and the troubles accompanying this process are expected and accepted as a natural part of aging. However, consequences of inadequate dental care, dental care neglecting, a lack of awareness, along with the natural process of involution, the deterioration of physical and mental condition cause an array of difficulties significantly affecting the quality of life. Not only health problems occur, but also speaking and articulation disorders, disorders in food intake and poor aesthetics, which result in a social impact. This issue has been marginalized, though it constitutes an important aspect of human life. The thesis deals with demographic aging implications, the chapters refer to oral health of seniors and there are sections devoted to the description of the health care facility where the research was carried out. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the health and social problems in dental care of seniors in the Senior Home {--} Home for the Elderly in Pacov. I focused on the seniors´ subjective views on this issue. The method used was quantitative research, the data collection technique was that of guided questionnaire. The research results are summarized in graphs and tables. The objective was achieved, the data acquisition was carried out without difficulty, the questionnaire survey was more time consuming due to the specifics of the target group. Partial objectification of the information obtained was made through the use of the content data analysis technique. The both negatively constructed hypotheses were confirmed, although to a lesser extent than anticipated. H1 The state of teeth in the seniors in Senior home- Home for the Elderly in Pacov negatively affects their life quality. H2 The current system of dental care of seniors in the Senior Home {--}Home for the Elderly in Pacov does not correspond to the real needs in terms of seniors´ life quality. I consider my research an indicator of the quality care of the institutionalized elderly, the outcomes of which will lead to the improvement in care standards in this particular facility and also to a better awareness of the professional public about this broad issue.
