Zhodnocení dostupnosti pobytových sociálních služeb pro osoby s chronickým duševním onemocněním

Abstract

The position of seniors in contemporary society is quite difficult. People prioritize their needs and interests, the model of three-generation families is being pushed out and the approach to care for the elderly is changing. However, with the gradual increase in life expectancy, the number of seniors is growing, which has a significant impact on the capacity of social services.

The subject of the bachelor's thesis is focused on the characteristics of the provided social services and the subsequent quantitative analysis of the availability of homes with a special regime for people with chronic mental illness. It can be stated that people suffering from chronic mental illness are largely dependent on nursing care. The form of services provided must be based on the individual needs of these persons.

The analytical part of the bachelor thesis maps the availability of social services in the Czech Republic and in selected regions of the Czech Republic in terms of the capacity of homes with special regimes, and in terms of applicants. The recommended standard is also used to orientate the necessary capacities in the given issue. Based on the identified outputs, the situation in the area of capacity availability of homes with a special regime is evaluated.

At the end of the bachelor's thesis, it can be concluded that there are a number of other aspects that more or less affect the system of residential social services. There is room for other methods of examining the situation, because the solution of only capacity availability is not a way out of the problem of caring for people suffering from chronic mental illness.
