In the empirical part there is determined the goal of this thesis which should lead to finding out how social system works with the elderly, how the elderly are secured by the state and if there is satisfactory number of welfare centres intended for the elderly. The thesis is also aimed at life quality of the elderly in home environment and in homefortheelderly as well as at self-sufficiency in chosen group of the elderly. There were established three research questions which came out from the research goal. The first question should reveal the status of the elderly in contemporary society and if they may influence it on their own. The second question asked for the place where the individuals want to live. The third research question focused on sufficiency of respondents. For meeting the target it was selected the qualitative strategy. It was used method of questioning with the half-structured interviews technique. The interviews were answered by eight seniors, specifically by seven women and one man. The research brought expected as well as unexpected findings. Example given the surprising result was high awareness of welfare centres owing to the fact welfare centres do not make self-presentation so much.

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.
