Premises and other conditions for quality aging in the case of Slovenian population older than 65 years - test study
Abstract
Related to the aging problem this research first seeks to verify the extent to which the written findings of already conducted research apply to the elderly population in Slovenia. In doing so, we are primarily interested in the extent to which these results can be applied to our environment and our population over the age of 65, considering the specifics of our social and social environment. The findings of the research will serve as a starting point for the development of new proposals for models of care, nursing, and care for the elderly. To solve the existing problems in the field of care, nursing and protection, the problem must be solved comprehensively. New proposals for models of nursing and care for the elderly should be urgently addressing:
a) The field of social policy and care planning.
b) The field of spatial and urban planning in the placement of retirement homes in space.
c) Field of building construction (modular construction, smart buildings, etc.).
d) The field of new concepts of living (age is wisdom, old but active, old but useful, etc.).
e) The field of financing the care of the elderly (fair pay, competitive prices, etc.).
f) The area of organization and responsibility in the management of care, nursing, and protection.
The above findings and guidelines of this research are good starting point for designing new models of care. Given the situation in our country, 3 new models are proving to be potentially interesting and feasible, which will be presented on another occasion. All the above solve the current problem of long-term care and represent a good alternative to today's models of care for the elderly.
