Abstract

Statistika pokazuje da starije osobe u Hrvatskoj čine 20,8% stanovništva. Stanovništvo se smatra
starim kad je udio starijih u populaciji viši od 7%. Kako osobe stare, javljaju se zdravstveni
problemi potreba za posebnom skrbi. Pružatelji skrbi mogu biti i privatni, a skrb može biti
institucionalna i izvaninstitucionalna. Naglasak je više na izvaninstitucionalnoj skrbi kako bi se
omogućilo starijima da što duže ostanu samostalni i u vlastitim domovima. Usluge koje
omogućuju starijim osobama da ostanu uključene u društvo i zadrže svoju samostalnost i
funkcionalnost uz određenu pomoć drugih osoba, najpoznatije su pod imenom pomoć u kući.
Institucionalni oblik skrbi za starije su domovi za starije i nemoćne koji pružaju dugotrajni
smještaj za starije osobe. U njih se najčešće smještaju starije osobe koje su izgubile
funkcionalnost i potrebna im je pomoć drugih u osnovnim životnim aktivnostima. Uz domove
vežu se i obiteljski domovi koji predstavljaju izvaninstitucionalni oblik skrbi i oni su brojniji od
privatnih domova. Jedan od oblika skrbi za starije je udomiteljstvo. Obiteljski domovi i
udomiteljske obitelji su mješoviti oblici skrbi, privatne osobe uz nadzor i nadležnost države.
Potrebno je razviti više izvaninstitucionalnih usluga kako bi se starijima omogućio samostalan
život u starijoj dobi. Također je potrebno više istražiti područje skrbi za starije osobe.

Abstract (english)

Statistics show that 20,8% of Croatia's population is made of older people. A country's
population is deemed old when the ratio of older people is higher then 7%. As people grow
older, certain medical issues come up and they are in need of special care. Service providers
can be private. Care for the elderly can be institutional and non-institutional. Non-institutional
care seems better because it helps older people stay in their homes and remain independent.
There are services that allow older people to stay included in their community, keep their
independence and function with a certain amount of help from others. Those services are most
known as in-home services. Nursing homes are the most common form of institutional care for
the elderly. They provide long-term accomodation, mostly for older people with lots of health
issues and are in need of assistance in everyday activities. Family homes are simmilar to nursing
homes and there a lot more of them. Another form of care are foster homes. Family homes and
foster families are mixed social service providers. This means that the founders are private
persons, but they have state supervision and jurisdiction. It is necessary to develop more noninstitutional
forms of care, as well as research more about this subject.
