Residential Care Facilities - an Interdisciplinary Approach to the Development of a General Model
Boris Koružnjak
Sažetak
This paper addresses the current issue of residential care in view of a marked trend in demographic ageing in Croatia. Residential care institutions in Croatia do not meet the current needs in terms of their quantity and structure. The existing models of the welfare services, unlike their European counterparts, are still mainly limited to residential homes. Taking into consideration specific features of this issue as well as its significance in the immediate future, it seems vital to adopt an interdisciplinary approach to the problem not just for the purpose of extending the existing range of residential home types but also for the purpose of developing new models of residential care.
