Long-term Care for Older People in the Slovak Republic – Current Problem and Urgent Challenge

Martina Hrozenská (Constantine the Philosopher University, Department of social work and social sciences of CPU, Kraskova 1, 949 74, Nitra, Slovak Republic, Tel. office: +421-37-6408-767, E-mail office: mhrozenska@ukf.sk, UCP web page: www.ukf.sk)

The Slovak Republic is one of the youngest countries in Europe. According to the last UN prognosis, the Slovak Republic will become one of the oldest populations in the world in the middle of the 21st century if the present intensity of birth rate is maintained or increases mildly. In the individual regions of the Slovak Republic, individual demographic processes develop variously and with various intensity and this situation results in a great differentiation also in demographic aging. Integration of social services and health care is not adapted systematically in the legal system of the Slovak Republic. One of the essential problems of long-term care for the clients in social and health care in the Slovak Republic is insufficiently transparent funding of the services or actions and at the same time artificially divided system of funding by the resorts – the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family. This fact does not allow effective funding and complex solving of long-term problems of individuals, i.e. with greater chance of non-recurrence and definitive solution of their problems.
