The interventions aproaches designed for vulnerable people are specific, differentiated and individualized according to the social, cultural, and proffesional context in which the individuals are living. In the elders supporting social work, there is a possibility of the direct involvement of beneficiaries in the intervention process by facilitating the social animations, or integration in social-recreational programs. All these factors indicates the innovative dimensions of the nowdays system. On the social animation based intervention model, promoted in the international practice is a challenge for us to diversificate the social services offered to elders in Romanian residential centres. This article outlines through theoretical approach the importance and the specifics of the direct involvement in the senior supporting social work.
