The elderly are a growing segment of our society. However, this is not reflected by greater expenditure on pensions which should guarantee the adequate means for dignified ageing. More and more frequently the elderly cannot cope with the complexity of daily life and they become clients of social support systems. The current paper presents the need for broad support of the elderly, stemming both from health-related issues and inadequate pensions.
