Abstract

Contemporary society is very diverse. Increasingly, there is a lack of interpersonal understanding and the man lives in constant changes and haste. It must be admitted that the society of rapid development and change is difficult to live in, especially for the elderly, who often feel rejected and useless while entering the so-called aging period.

Forms of helping people, also in the period of aging, include social work. That is why this article is situated in the area of senior support and concerns the clarification of basic issues concerning forms of assistance to the elderly and the role of the social worker in supporting seniors. The aim is to show the value of social work benefits offered to elderly people (seniors) as instruments of help and support to this group of people.
