The environment, where we live, that means the dwelling environment, influences the quality of our lives very important. This space is more important for the seniors, because their abilities, which help them to move easy in our world, go down. The injuries represent a grave and special element in morbidity of the seniors. They happen more frequently, more weak is the health and functional disposition of the seniors. Compared to a younger age, their treatment is more complicated, longer and brings worse attainments and higher costs. Grave injuries are yoke together with higher mortality, than similar hurts in younger age. In this diploma work the author has tried to assess the prevention of the injuries of the seniors in the rest homes and to chart the factors, which most influence this adaptation.

Public attitudes to the Institutional Care for senior citizens.
STANKOVÁ, Jana
The aim of this work is to find out if the public understands that institutional senior care is care related to a field-work. The method of quantitative search was used for this survey. The presumption that people aged up to 40 are less informed about the system of social care for seniors than people over 60 was not confirmed. Those respondents 60+ did not prove any major knowledge or foreknowledge about these services. The presumption that people 60+ prefer a field-work and health service to the institutional care was confirmed.

ELDERLY PERSON´S FALLS AND ITS HEALTH AND SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES
JIŘINOVÁ, Libuše
A fall and the subsequent hospitalisation in the after-care ward are often a critical moment for the elderly. In the causal connection with the fall, self-sufficiency, self-activity and motivation for recovery are often lost or reduced in the elderly during long hospitalisation. As a consequence, a part of senior citizens thus become trapped in the institutional care network with a reduced or eliminated chance to get back to their natural home environment.

Crime perpetrated against seniors
BREDOVÁ, Eva
The issue of violence against seniors is a major concern in many developed countries. The elderly are among the demographic groups that are most at risk. This group is growing because the population is generally getting older. Each year, hundreds of seniors in the Czech Republic become victims of crime. Within the bounds of quantitative research, I chose the methods of controlled dialogue, model casuistry and secondary data analysis. The issues seniors face are becoming more and more prominent and pressing; they demand a solution. Education about how to protect themselves and their property is an important tool, which helps to minimalize the perpetration of criminal offences against seniors.

The comparison of quality seniors´ life in the institutional establishment in the period of time for two years
KORTUSOVÁ, Jana
The topic of old age and ageing is wide-ranging. The position of senior citizens within a society and the solution of the questions connected with the consequences of their growing age represents an integral part of the natural life cycle. Apart from their material security the quality range of senior citizens{\crq} life is made up of their state of health, accessibility of both public and private health, social and other services, marital status, the quality of housing, the chance of further education and developing social contacts. The quality of life is a very subjective and individual phenomenon. It involves different impulses for various people in different periods. There is a general tendency towards rising demands on the quality of life within the population and it the same with the oncoming generation of senior citizens. It is always necessary to ask oneself a question whether the quality of senior citizens{\crq} lives in institutional facilities is on an appropriate level and which are the factors influencing the quality of their lives. Evaluating the quality of life can be also looked upon as a subjective individual{\crq}s view of the individual aspects of his life. However, it is highly important that the living environment meets and satisfies the senior citizens{\crq} corporal, psychic, social and spiritual needs. This diploma thesis represents a continuation of the bachelor{\crq}s thesis: The quality of senior citizens{\crq} life in institutional facilities. The basic aim is to compare the quality of senior citizens{\crq} life in the institutional facility {--} the Old People{\crq}s Home of Kůsov within a period of two years. I have chosen the topic of the thesis because I have been working in an institutional facility for more than 21 years, and the quality of senior citizens{\crq} life has made me think about this problem more thoroughly. The diploma thesis includes the present state of affairs of the problems in question, the specification of hypotheses, methodology, the results of the research, discussion, conclusion, the list of the sources, key words and supplements. The description of the present state of affairs comprises the characteristic features of the senior citizens{\crq} population, senior citizens{\crq} state of health, their self-sufficiency and activities. Another concept is the quality of life. Provided that we combine the word quality with that of life, we will face the fact that various people can have and usually do have different ideas about what in fact comprises the meaning of their life, what makes their life of high quality. The quality of life is looked upon as a multi-dimensional quantity and is usually defined as a ``subjective appraisal of one{\crq}s own conditions of life{\crqq}. Further on there are institutional facilities and the new Social Care Act No. 108/2006 digest mentioned in this part. There have two hypotheses been specified in this thesis, which have been confirmed by the research. The original research sample of the year 2004 included 100 respondents: 40 men and 60 women. Within the period of two years 22 respondents died, 8 men and 14 women. These respondents were taken away from the total sample and, as a result, a new representative sample has come into being comprising 78 respondents, 32 men ans 46 women. The research was carried out by means of the method of a controlled dialogue, using a questionnaire for the users of the old people{\crq}s home, the standardized SEIQoL questionnaire and an ADL test. The results were compiled in tabular and chart form, and subsequently processed by means of the STATISTICA statistical programme. The discussion includes a summary of the research knowledge in comparison with the sources used. The conclusion comprises a summary of the complete research part. We can conclude that nowadays the quality of life in an institutional facility can reach a high level.
