Abstract
The increasing number of dependent seniors requires an adequate response from long-term care system for these citizens. This mean a search for setting of cooperation between formal and informal care, and need for appropriate forms of long-term care (field care, outpatient care and residential services) There is an increasing need for health and social services to relate mutually and cooperate flexibly, so that they would appropriately meet the current needs of seniors and their family caregivers.
The article is focused on long-term care for the senior population in the capital Prague in comparison with other Czech regions and identifies the most neuralgic points of long-term care in Prague. It uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse in detail supply of long-term care services in Prague from the point of view of main stakeholders.
Results of the qualitative and quantitative research show serious deficits both in services offered and their interconnection.
