Abstract
The text defines the process of shared care in the context of formal and informal care available in the Czech Republic. With the increasing number of informal caregivers, the question of benefits and limits of shared long-term care for disabled childrem arises.
The multidisciplinarity of professional care in combination with family care forms the meaning of shared care. The role of parents - informal caregivers - is invaluable in this process and yet still neglected.
The support of caregivers, the optimal setting of relationships of all care stakeholders, their coordination, communication and cooperation is a key of improving the quality of life of disabled children and parents.
