abstract: The representative trial has been performed in four types of East Bohemian geriatric institutions. Following totals were investigated: 193 patients of the long-term care institutions, 492 subjects residing in homes for aged, 96 in homes for pensionaries and 105 in homes with day-care. Various social and health characteristics have been scrutinized as follows: age, sex, residence, employment, reason for the admission, duration of stay, subjective complaints, vision and hear disorders, speech defects, denture status, incontinency, mobility, self-sufficiency, occurrence of chronical diseases, complexive evaluation of somatic and psychic conditions as well as the dependence on environs. Mentioned institutions are stated as varying in the majority of studied characteristics with relation to the pattern of persons admitted. The home for aged became a final institution from which the complexive care is awaited including its provision for elderly people, both patients and those self-unsufficient. The complexiveness of long-term institutional care results from the analysis of obtained data as well as its better and comprehended resolution in the future.
