The aim of this thesis is to determine the evolution and level of Technical Efficiency and Institutional Availability of the Long-Term Care Facilities of counties in the Czech Republic for the period 2009 to 2013. And to achieve this aim was formulated hypothesis, which assumes that the Technical Efficiency of the Long-Term Care Facilities is more favorable in regions with higher population older than 65 years.
