Bachelor´s thesis is called "Social work with elderly in residential facilities" is aimed to group work with elderly as a one method of social work. I try map benefits and negatives, which lies in group work with elderly in residential facilities, by means this bachelor´s thesis. There are different views on status of elderly in today society. One view states, that young generation seen elderly person like somebody unnecessary, useless, who burdens society and it often leads to placement elderly to residential facilities, where they almost spend rest of their life. The second view states, that exist families, who care about their elderly till the last moment. They often use services of day care and try to take care about their elderly of all forces and they place him/her into the residential facilities in extreme case, when they have not another choice. It is understandable that the best home for seniors with offer of services and supportive care can not compensate real home, love and care of relationships. There are offered series of activities which help to elderly people to spend their meaningful leisure time., but not everybody have strength or interest in participation. There is important motivation of social workers in the facilities which offered these activities. There are often used group activities in residential facilities, which I maped in bachelor´s thesis and introduce practice knowledge at work with elderly. Bachelor´s thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter is aimed to knowledge of aging and old age. There are described changes, which can set influence of aging in elderly´s life and how are the reactions on them. I mention here statue of society to elderly people, how young generation perceives elderly. The second chapter is aimed to social work. I mention here borders of social work, historical consequences in realationship to social work, methods of social work, and I deal with law number 108/2006 Collection. about social work. The third chapter deals with group work obviously, requirement of social worker and concrete form of group work with elderly. I mention problem´s aspects in this part, which can occur in group work with elderly and I based on my own knowledge. In the fourth chapter are found case reports in story form, where is given group work with clients. I found due to bachelor´s thesis more informations about aging and old age and their influence on life of eldery people, about social work, I maped group activities, which are offered in series residential facilities and so on. If I have interested in this issue in future, I would focused on satisfactions of elderly in residential facilities and I would maped reasons of placement in these types of facilities.
