How are fullfilled spiritual needs of seniors living in a home environment in the relation with the provision of care service?The last research question: "How are fullfilled spiritual needs of seniors living in a home environment in the relation with the provision of care service?", was evaluated in such a way that the the spiritual needs of informers with reduced mobility are not sufficiently fulfilled. Despite the will and the care of the nurses, this is not possible, either because of the workload of nurses or their education. Parsons do not manage to cover all the needs of seniors. There are cases where seniors emphasize the complete absence of spiritual service. There are often times when seniors would welcome more spiritual services. In conclusion, we can say that for the seniors the care service has the greatest importance in fulfilling their biological needs and also satisfies their psychological and social needs. The spiritual needs of seniors with reduced mobility are, according to the research, not fulfilled.
