Abstract:

Housing of seniors is very non-unified in the Slovak Republic. As a central government, the
state has delegated much of the competence in the area of senior housing to local governments in the
form of delegated competences. This is also the case for the third sector, which is involved and uses
state support for its activities. There is no advanced form of retirement facilities network. However, it
is not only important that seniors only passively use the assistance of the state in case of dependence on
care, but the social policy of Slovakia should aim to active form of social secure, lead elderly to their
own responsibility and help them to financially cover acceptable housing. This is endangered by low
pensions, income and expenditure structure of retirement households. New challenges in the future include
the creation of social enterprises and senior parks. The purpose of this article is to map the above
aspects and point out possible innovations and examples of good practice.

Keywords:

Financial Situation, Social Services, Central Government, Municipalities, Third Sector.
