It presents the latest knowledge about the needs of seniors with emphasis on the needs of seriously ill seniors, and describes the role of social care in social service facilities as well as the spiritual care for the dying. Naturally, in the terminal stages of life we often encounter changes in needs or a shift in their prioritization.

Vybrané aktivizační činnosti a terapie realizované v domovech pro seniory
 MOTLOVÁ, Lenka
Given the ageing of the population, it is desirable to develop a concept of a long-term residential care system for the elderly, the integral part of which is to provide activation. Activities and therapies implemented in a retirement home have an irreplaceable role not only in the complex care for seniors but also in the context of community based rehabilitation in old age. The aim of the thesis was to find out what activities and therapies are provided in the retirement homes. The objectives were to find out: 1. What types and forms of activities and therapies are provided in the retirement homes; 2. What terminology is used in connection with providing activation; 3. Whether a concept or model of care is used in the retirement homes; 4. Whether the retirement homes have been awarded the Quality Score in Social Services of the Association of Social Services Providers of the Czech Republic; 5. Who in the retirement home is responsible for coordinating activation; 6. The position and education level of the staff providing activation; 7. Whether there is a sufficient number of activation workers in the retirement homes; 8. Whether the retirement homes have sufficient funds for activation; 9. Whether the retirement homes have a methodology for providing activation; 10. The difficulties related to the provision of activation and therapies in the retirement homes from the point of view of the staff. The objectives set were achieved through a quantitative research strategy. The polling method with the help of a questionnaire of own construction were selected for date collection and the heads of the retirement homes and the staff providing activation were addressed. The mathematical and statistical method was used to evaluate the empirical material. The result of quantitative research based on the deductive method is the description and analysis of activities and therapies in the retirement homes in the Czech Republic. The research has shown a statistically significant dependence between the founder and the provision of a concept or the model of care in the retirement homes. A statistically significant correlation was found between the number of animal-assisted therapies provided in the retirement homes and the certification of facilities by the so-called Quality Score in Social Services. A statistically significant relationship between the seniority of the head of the retirement home and the availability of funding for activation has been demonstrated. There was a statistically significant dependency between the type of the founder and the provision of a concept or the model of care in the retirement homes. A statistically significant correlation between the seniority of the head of the retirement homes and the development of a methodology for providing activation has been demonstrated. The thesis provides a comprehensive view of the issue of activities and therapies implemented in the retirement homes in the Czech Republic. The acquired knowledge will be used as a basis for the preparation of materials and the concept of animal-assisted therapy in the area of care for seniors, on which the author of the thesis would like to participate in the following years in cooperation with non-profit organizations engaged in practicing animal-assisted therapy in the Czech Republic. The results of the thesis will be presented to the Association of Social Service Providers of the Czech Republic, as a professional organization associating providers of social services, in order to use the obtained results in the update and review of the activation documents. The results may be useful for the staff of the retirement homes in the development of the methodology of educational, training and activation activities in the context of community based rehabilitation. The results obtained will be passed on to the workers in social services and social workers through the author's publication and lecture activities as well as in the provision of supervision.
