The effect of the cash for care on the autonomy of adults with physical disabilities in parental care
Prager, Michal ; Hradcová, Dana (advisor) ; Synek, Michal (referee)
Through my work, I offer an insight into the lives of people with physical disabilities who depend on the help of another person. I reflect on their opportunities to live autonomously and what role care allowance plays in this. The Czech Republic has ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which includes, among other things, the right to independent living. Through the stories of three people with physical disabilities, I show how this right can be fulfilled with the current system settings of the care allowance. How they can become independent of their parents. What other influences and actor-networks shape their reality and to what extent their life is autonomous in this reality. The care allowance is part of the Social Services Act, which itself greatly accentuates the individual approach. However, the care allowance does not reflect much on the individual needs of people reliant on the help of another person. In addition to this allowance, I also look at other actor-network - family relationships, technologies or accessibility of the environment. I explore how they interact with each other and how strong a role the care allowance plays in this interconnected network. If the current form of the allowance affects family relationships. Through critical social work, I...

ZDĚNOVCOVÁ, Dominika
This bachelor thesis is focused on the care allowance, and how users over the age of 65 view it, which was also the first research goal. The second goal of my bachelor thesis was to find out the sufficiency of the care allowance for these users. A qualitative research approach, a semi-guided interviewing method and inquiring techniques were selected in order to complete the practical part of the thesis. The interviews were conducted with nine users of social services in Sezimovo Ústí, who are 65 years of age and older and who receive a care allowance. The thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part I deal with formal and informal care, and especially the care allowance as such. The practical part evaluates the statements of all informants, which were evaluated by the formation of tufts and, last but not least, a summary of the entire bachelor's thesis, evaluation of the fulfillment of set goals and answers to research questions. This bachelor thesis can provide information about the importance of the care allowance for the elderly and serve as an indicator of the current perception of the care allowance by users.

Filípková, Hana ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Vysokajová, Margerita (referee)
The effectiveness of legal regulation of care for the elderly - summary From the projected demographic development, one can conclude that the proportion of the elderly in the society will grow significantly in the future. Advancing age is generally accompanied by the weakening of self-reliance and the need of help from others to take care of oneself. The aim of this work is to capture the latest trends in taking care of the elderly and its legislative anchorage in the laws of the Czech Republic. The fundamental law from which I start is the act no. 108/2006 Sb. on social services. This act brought a large number of changes and new institutions into the department of care (not only for seniors), from which the most important was the introduction of care subsidy. The work is focused mainly theoretically, it is divided into seven chapters and further particular sub-chapters. The first chapter deals with embedding the social services into the social security law system, and also briefly with their historical development. These bases represent essential determinants that affect both the current state of social services, as well as their possible future development. The need for effective regulation of social services for seniors can be seen in the demographic indicators, which confirm the long-term trend towards...
