title: [Theoretical aspects of the elderly people's adaptation to social reality conditions].
abstract: The article deals with various opinions of scientists concerning the "adaptation" concept and the need to determine clear criteria for diagnostics of the development level of social and psychological adaptation. At present, there is no reasonably sufficient desirable adaptation model at various life-cycle stages. The degree of satisfaction of the needs of the elderly people can be considered as an adjustment criterion.
