Almost most of the clients surveyed agreed that nurses fill their free time only for the nursing care.

Another part of the survey is to examine whether the elderly sisters offer some leisure activities. From this part of the research showed that only two nurses offer leisure activities for seniors. One of them the basal stimulation and the other walking, talking and viewing photos. Clients in the nursing home is offered many activities, but they are provided by the social workers. This was answered in the second research question.
